Discriminantal Arrangements, Fiber Polytopes and Formality

چکیده
Manin and Schechtman defined the discriminantal arrangement of a generic hyperplane arrangement as a generalization of the braid arrangement. This paper shows their construction is dual to the fiber zonotope construction of Billera and Sturmfels, and thus makes sense even when the base arrangement is not generic. The hyperplanes, face lattices and intersection lattices of discriminantal arrangements are studied. The discriminantal arrangement over a generic arrangement is shown to be formal (and in some cases 3-formal), though it is in general not free. An example of a free discriminantal arrangement over a generic arrangement is given.

Relation Spaces of Hyperplane Arrangements and Modules Defined by Graphs of Fiber Zonotopes
We study the exactness of certain combinatorially defined complexes which generalize the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a geometric lattice. The main results pertain to complex reflection arrangements and their restrictions. In particular, we consider the corresponding relation complexes and give a simple proof of the n-formality of these hyperplane arrangements. As an application, we are able to bou...

متن کاملNon-formality of Milnor Fibers of Line Arrangements
The complement M of a complex line arrangement A in P(C) is formal, and admits a finite cover F → M , where F is the associated global Milnor fiber. An example where F is not formal (not even 1-formal), is given in this article.
متن کاملOn the Cohomology of Discriminantal Arrangements and Orlik-solomon Algebras
We relate the cohomology of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a discriminantal arrangement to the local system cohomology of the complement. The Orlik-Solomon algebra of such an arrangement (viewed as a complex) is shown to be a linear approximation of a complex arising from the fundamental group of the complement, the cohomology of which is isomorphic to that of the complement with coefficients in ...
متن کاملVarieties with maximum likelihood degree one
We show that algebraic varieties with maximum likelihood degree one are exactly the images of reduced A-discriminantal varieties under monomial maps with finite fibers. The maximum likelihood estimator corresponding to such a variety is Kapranov’s Horn uniformization. This extends Kapranov’s characterization of A-discriminantal hypersurfaces to varieties of arbitrary codimension.
