Abstract: For every irreducible complex representation~$p{i}_{l}ambda$ of the symmetric group~$S_n$, we construct, in a canonical way, a so-called intrinsic hyperplane arrangement~$A_{lambda}$ in the space of~$p{i}_{l}ambda$. This arrangement is a direct generalization of the classical braid arrangement (which is the special case of our construction corresponding to the natural representation of~$S_n$), has a natural description in terms of invariant subspaces of Young subgroups, and enjoys a number of remarkable properties.

Review text

The main result of the paper says that for every irreducible complex representation \(\pi_\lambda\) of the symmetric group \(S_n\) there exists a canonical ``intrinsic hyperplane arrangement \(A_\lambda\) in the space \(V_\lambda\) of this representation. In the case of the natural representation of \(S_n\), it coincides with the so-called braid arrangement, studied by [\textit{V. I. Arnol'd}, Math. Notes 5, 138--140 (1969; Zbl 0277.55002); translation from Mat. Zametki 5, 227--231 (1969)] in connection with the cohomology of the group of pure1 braids. \par This arrangement has a natural description in terms of invariant subspaces of Young subgroups, and enjoys a number of remarkable properties. An attempt to generalize Arnold's construction to other irreducible representations of symmetric groups has led the authors to quite dissimilar arrangements, whose complements, in particular, are not \(K(\pi,1)\) spaces.
