[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00006.] Discriminantal arrangements of hyperplanes are defined in section 1 and discussed in connection with higher braid groups and their nilpotent completions. Combinatorics on discriminantal arrangements give rise to the definition of posets \(B(n,k)\), which turn out to be generalizations of Bruhat orders -- \(B(n,1)\) is the symmetric group \(S_ n\) in its weak Bruhat order -- (section 2). In the last section \(S_ n\) is given the structure of \((n-1)\)-category associated to the weak Bruhat order. Some results are already announced in earlier papers [compare Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 20, No. 2, 74-75 (1986; Zbl 0646.20014) and Group theoretical methods in physics 1985, 151-165 (1986; Zbl 0699.58069)].
