Abstract: In this article we address the length of perverse sheaves arising as direct images of rank one local systems on complements of hyperplane arrangements. In the case of a cone over an essential line arrangement with at most triple points, we provide combinatorial formulas for these lengths. As by-products, we also obtain in this case combinatorial formulas for the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of rank one local systems on the complement with same monodromy around the planes.


Perverse sheaves and intersection cohomology are fundamental objects encoding the complexity of the topology of a stratified space. The simplest perverse sheaves are the local systems. A next natural class of perverse sheaves to consider are direct images via the open embedding of local systems on the complement of a hypersurface. The authors address the length of such perverse sheaves on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) constructed from rank one local systems on the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes. In the case of a cone over an essential line arrangement with at most triple points, they provide combinatorial formulas for these lengths. As by-products, they obtain combinatorial formulas for the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of rank one local systems on the complement with the same monodromy around the planes.
