Sheaf homology of hyperplane arrangements, Boolean covers and exterior powers (Q2081423)

This paper computes sheaf homology of the intersection lattice of a hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in the graded exterior power \(\Lambda^*F\) of the natural sheaf \(F\). An intersection lattice of a hyperplane arrangement has the structure of a finite poset with atoms. There is a natural mapping to an associated Boolean lattice. To a poset we can assign a sheaf which is a contravariant functor to \(R\)-Mod. The intersection lattice of a hyperplane arrangement is equipped with a natural sheaf of which we take the graded exterior power. Its homology is defined to be the left derived functor of the colimit functor. It is computed via three steps. First the authors show that it is the same as the homology of the associated Boolean lattice. This is computed via cell homology and a long exact sequence assigned to deletions and restrictions.
