Hanlon and Stanley’s Conjecture and the Milnor Fibre of a Braid Arrangement

چکیده

Let A be a real arrangement of hyperplanes. Let B = B(q) be Varchenko’s quantum bilinear form of A, introduced [15], specialized so that all hyperplanes have weight q . B(q) is nonsingular for all complex q except certain roots of unity. Here, we examine the kernel of B at roots of unity in relation to the topology of the hyperplane singularity. We use Varchenko’s work [16] to relate B(q) to a Salvetti complex for the Milnor fibration of A. This paper’s main result is specific to the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes associated with the An−1 root system. We use a geometric property of the Milnor fibre to resolve a conjecture due to Hanlon and Stanley regarding the Sn-module structure of the kernel of B(q) at certain roots of unity.

Bicolor-eliminable graphs and free multiplicities on the braid arrangement

We define specific multiplicities on the braid arrangement by using edge-bicolored graphs. To consider their freeness, we introduce the notion of bicolor-eliminable graphs as a generalization of Stanley’s classification theory of free graphic arrangements by chordal graphs. This generalization gives us a complete classification of the free multiplicities defined above. As an application, we pro...

Cohomology of Pure Braid Groups of exceptional cases

Consider the ring R := Q[τ, τ−1] of Laurent polynomials in the variable τ . The Artin’s Pure Braid Groups (or Generalized Pure Braid Groups) act over R, where the action of every standard generator is the multiplication by τ . In this paper we consider the cohomology of these groups with coefficients in the module R (it is well known that such cohomology is strictly related to the untwisted int...

The Deligne Complex for the Four-strand Braid Group

This paper concerns the homotopy type of hyperplane arrangements associated to infinite Coxeter groups acting as reflection groups on Cn. A long-standing conjecture states that the complement of such an arrangement should be aspherical. Some partial results on this conjecture were previously obtained by the author and M. Davis. In this paper, we extend those results to another class of Coxeter ...

Hyperplane Arrangements and Milnor Fibrations

— There are several topological spaces associated to a complex hyperplane arrangement: the complement and its boundary manifold, as well as the Milnor fiber and its own boundary. All these spaces are related in various ways, primarily by a set of interlocking fibrations. We use cohomology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems on the complement of the arrangement to gain information on the h...

Generators for a Complex Hyperbolic Braid Group

We give generators for a certain complex hyperbolic braid group. That is, we remove a hyperplane arrangement from complex hyperbolic 13space, take the quotient of the remaining space by a discrete group, and find generators for the orbifold fundamental group of the quotient. These generators have the most natural form: loops corresponding to the hyperplanes which come nearest the basepoint. Our...
