Abstract: The purpose of this work is to collect in one place available information on line arrangements known in the literature as braid, monomial, Ceva or Fermat arrangement. They have been studied for a long time and appeared recently in connection with highly interesting problems, namely: the containment problem between symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals and the existence of unexpected hypersurfaces. We also study also derived configurations of points (or more general: linear flats) which arise by intersecting hyperplanes in Fermat arrangements or by taking duals of these hyperplanes. Furthermore we discuss briefly higher dimensional generalizations and present results arising by applying this approach to problems mentioned above. Some of our results are original and appear for the first time in print.

Review text

The present paper of the author is a survey (which contains also some original results) devoted to the so-called Fermat-type arrangements of hyperplanes. These arrangements have been studied for a long time and appeared recently in connection with highly interesting algebraic problems, namely the containment problem for homogeneous ideals and the existence of unexpected hypersurfaces. In the first part of the paper the author recalls some basic properties of reflection arrangements and free arrangements of hyperplanes. In the second part of the paper the author focuses on the existence of unexpected varieties constructed with use of the Fermat-type arrangements -- the construction uses point configurations that are dual to hyperplanes in Fermat-type arrangements. Even if the author says that she failed in writing a comprehensive survey on Fermat-type arrangements and their appearances in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry it seems that the paper contains the most recent results devoted to unexpected varieties related to Fermat-type arrangements, and in this setting it can be viewed as a up-to-date source. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1456.05001].
