THE K(n, I)-PROBLEM FOR HYPERPLANE COMPLEMENTS ASSOCIATED TO INFINITE REFLECTION GROUPS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We begin by recalling some well-known facts. The natural action of the symmetric group Sn on jRn can be viewed as a group generated by reflections. The reflections in Sn are the orthogonal reflections across the hyperplanes H jj = {x E jRnlxj = x j }, 1 '.5, i < j '.5, n. The Sn-action extends to Cn (= jRn ®C) and the set of points with nontrivial isotropy group is U H jj ® C. Let M denote the quotient manifold,

The Adjoint Representation in Rings of Functions
Let G be a connected, simple Lie group of rank n defined over the complex numbers. To a parabolic subgroup P in G of semisimple rank r, one can associate n−r positive integers coming from the theory of hyperplane arrangements (see P. Orlik and L. Solomon, Combinatorics and topology of complements of hyperplanes, Invent. Math. 56 (1980), 167-189; Coxeter arrangements, in Proc. of Symposia in Pur...
متن کاملResidual Nilpotence for Generalizations of Pure Braid Groups
It is known that the pure braid groups are residually torsion-free nilpotent. This property is however widely open for the most obvious generalizations of these groups, like pure Artin groups and like fundamental groups of hyperplane complements (even reflection ones). In this paper we relate this problem to the faithfulness of linear representations, and prove the residual torsion-free nilpote...
متن کاملInfinite product representation of solution of indefinite SturmLiouville problem
In this paper, we investigate infinite product representation of the solution of a Sturm- Liouville equation with an indefinite weight function which has two zeros and/or singularities in a finite interval. First, by using of the asymptotic estimates provided in [W. Eberhard, G. Freiling, K. Wilcken-Stoeber, Indefinite eigenvalue problems with several singular points and turning points, Math. N...
متن کاملAffinization of Segre products of partial linear spaces
Hyperplanes and hyperplane complements in the Segre product of partial linear spaces are investigated. The parallelism of such a complement is characterized in terms of the point-line incidence. Assumptions, under which the automorphisms of the complement are the restrictions of the automorphisms of the ambient space, are given. An affine covering for the Segre product of Veblenian gamma spaces...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
