Differential equations for moving hyperplane arrangements

From MaRDI portal





In this paper, the authors tackle the combinatorial encryption of Mellin integrals of individual powers of hyperplanes as holonomic functions in the constant terms of the hyperplanes. The presentation so far is a case study from which several interesting follow-up questions and paths for future research arise. The authors provide a combinatorial construction of an annihilating \(D\)-ideal for the combinatorial correlator function. The construction is purely combinatorial and depends on the hyperplane arrangement only. \N\NThe authors investigate Mellin integrals of products of hyperplanes, raised to an individual power each and refer to the resulting functions as combinatorial correlators. They investigate their behavior when moving the hyperplanes individually. To encode these functions as holonomic functions in the constant terms of the hyperplanes, they aim to construct a holonomic annihilating \(D\)-ideal purely in terms of the hyperplane arrangement. Their examples of line arrangements in the plane suggest that they might compute restrictions of GKZ systems [\textit{I. M. Gelfand} et al., Adv. Math. 84, No. 2, 255--271 (1990; Zbl 0741.33011)]. \N\NThis paper is organized as follows. Section 1 is an introduction to the subject and summarizes the main results. Section 2 deals with some preliminaries. The authors recall basic mathematical tools needed for this study. They reach from operator algebras through twisted cohomology to discriminantal arrangements. Section 3 is devoted to explain how to construct differential operators that annihilate the correlator function. Section 4 deals with some examples. The last section is devoted to some perspectives.
