Division of characteristic polynomials and the division theorem for free arrangements of hyperplanes
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the triple (A,A′,AH) of hyperplane arrangements and the division of their characteristic polynomials. We show that the freeness of A and the division of χ(A; t) by χ(A ; t) confirm the freeness ofA. The key ingredient of this “division theorem” on freeness is the fact that, if χ(A ; t) divides χ(A; t), then the same holds for the localization at the codimension three flat in H. This implies the local-freeness of A in codimension three along H. Based on these results, several applications are obtained, which include a definition of “divisionally free arrangements”. It is strictly larger than the set of inductively free arrangements. Also, in the set of divisionally free arrangements, the Terao’s conjecture is true.

Deformations of Coxeter hyperplane arrangements and their characteristic polynomials
Let A be a Coxeter hyperplane arrangement, that is the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes of an irreducible finite Coxeter group. A deformation of A is an affine arrangement each of whose hyperplanes is parallel to some hyperplane of A. We survey some of the interesting combinatorics of classes of such arrangements, reflected in their characteristic polynomials.
متن کاملDe Rham cohomology of logarithmic forms on arrangements of hyperplanes
The paper is devoted to computation of the cohomology of the complex of logarithmic differential forms with coefficients in rational functions whose poles are located on the union of several hyperplanes of a linear space over a field of characteristic zero. The main result asserts that for a vast class of hyperplane arrangements, including all free and generic arrangements, the cohomology algeb...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Reciprocity Theorem for Hyperplane Arrangements
Given a nonnegative integer m and a finite collection A of linear forms on Qd, the arrangement of affine hyperplanes in Qd defined by the equations α(x) = k for α ∈ A and integers k ∈ [−m,m] is denoted by Am. It is proved that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of Am are quasi-polynomials inm and that they satisfy a simple combinatorial reciprocity law.
متن کاملFrobenius kernel and Wedderburn's little theorem
We give a new proof of the well known Wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite division ring is commutative. We apply the concept of Frobenius kernel in Frobenius representation theorem in finite group theory to build a proof.
متن کاملTriangularization over finite-dimensional division rings using the reduced trace
In this paper we study triangularization of collections of matrices whose entries come from a finite-dimensional division ring. First, we give a generalization of Guralnick's theorem to the case of finite-dimensional division rings and then we show that in this case the reduced trace function is a suitable alternative for trace function by presenting two triangularization results. The first one...
