Combinatorics of Line Arrangements and Characteristic Varieties

چکیده
The complement M of a complex line arrangementA in C gives rise to combinatorial data, namely, the intersection lattice L(A). We prove that if the arrangement A is the complexification of a real arrangement, the characteristic varieties of complex rank one local systems on M are determined by the combinatorics of the arrangement A.

Complements and Higher Resonance Varieties of Hyperplane Arrangements
Hyperplane arrangements form the geometric counterpart of combinatorial objects such as matroids. The shape of the sequence of Betti numbers of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement is of particular interest in combinatorics, where they are known, up to a sign, as Whitney numbers of the first kind, and appear as the coefficients of chromatic, or characteristic, polynomials. We show that ce...
متن کاملResonance varieties over fields of positive characteristic
Let A be a hyperplane arrangement, and k a field of arbitrary characteristic. We show that the projective degree-one resonance variety R(A, k) of A over k is ruled by lines, and identify the underlying algebraic line complex L(A, k) in the Grassmannian G(2, kn), n = |A|. L(A, k) is a union of linear line complexes corresponding to the neighborly partitions of subarrangements of A. Each linear l...
متن کاملPencils of Plane Curves and Characteristic Varieties
We give a geometric approach to the relation between the irreducible components of the characteristic varieties of local systems on a plane curve arrangement complement and the associated pencils of plane curves discovered recently by M. Falk and S. Yuzvinsky [10] in the case of line arrangements. In this case, this geometric point of view was already hinted to by A. Libgober and S. Yuzvinsky, ...
متن کاملTopology and combinatorics of real line arrangements
We prove the existence of complexified real arrangements with the same combinatorics but different embeddings in P. Such pair of arrangements has an additional property: they admit conjugated equations on the ring of polynomials over Q( √ 5).
متن کاملIncidence Combinatorics
We introduce notions of combinatorial blowups, building sets, and nested sets for arbitrary meet-semilattices. This gives a common abstract framework for the incidence combinatorics occurring in the context of De Concini-Procesi models of subspace arrangements and resolutions of singularities in toric varieties. Our main theorem states that a sequence of combinatorial blowups, prescribed by a b...
