Supersolvability and Freeness for ψ-Graphical Arrangements

Let G be a simple graph on the vertex set {v1, . . . , vn} with edge set E. Let K be a field. The graphical arrangement AG in K n is the arrangement xi − xj = 0, vivj ∈ E. An arrangement A is supersolvable if the intersection lattice L(c(A)) of the cone c(A) contains a maximal chain of modular elements. The second author has shown that a graphical arrangement AG is supersolvable if and only if G is a chordal graph. He later considered a generalization of graphical arrangements which are called ψ-graphical arrangements. He conjectured a characterization of the supersolvability and freeness (in the sense of Terao) of a ψ-graphical arrangement. We provide a proof of the first conjecture and state some conditions on free ψ-graphical arrangements.
