Morse Theory, Milnor Fibers and Minimality of Hyperplane Arrangements

چکیده

Through the study of Morse theory on the associated Milnor fiber, we show that complex hyperplane arrangement complements are minimal. That is, the complement of any complex hyperplane arrangement has the homotopy type of a CW-complex in which the number of p-cells equals the p-th betti number. Combining this result with recent work of Papadima and Suciu, one obtains a characterization of when arrangement complements are Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces.

Nonresonance Conditions for Arrangements

We prove a vanishing theorem for the cohomology of the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in a complex local system. This result is compared with other vanishing theorems, and used to study Milnor fibers of line arrangements, and hypersurface arrangements.

Around the tangent cone theorem

A cornerstone of the theory of cohomology jump loci is the Tangent Cone theorem, which relates the behavior around the origin of the characteristic and resonance varieties of a space. We revisit this theorem, in both the algebraic setting provided by cdga models, and in the topological setting provided by fundamental groups and cohomology rings. The general theory is illustrated with several cl...
