Abstract: Given a partition $lambda$ of n, consider the subspace $E_{l}ambda$ of $C^n$ where the first $lambd{a}_1$ coordinates are equal, the next $lambd{a}_2$ coordinates are equal, etc. In this paper, we study subspace arrangements $X_{l}ambda$ consisting of the union of translates of $E_{l}ambda$ by the symmetric group. In particular, we focus on determining when $X_{l}ambda$ is Cohen-Macaulay. This is inspired by previous work of the third author coming from the study of rational Cherednik algebras and which answers the question positively when all parts of $lambda$ are equal. We show that $X_{l}ambda$ is not Cohen-Macaulay when $lambda$ has at least 4 distinct parts, and handle a large number of cases when $lambda$ has 2 or 3 distinct parts. Along the way, we also settle a conjecture of Sergeev and Veselov about the Cohen-Macaulayness of algebras generated by deformed Newton sums. Our techniques combine classical techniques from commutative algebra and invariant theory, in many cases we can reduce an infinite family to a finite check which can sometimes be handled by computer algebra.
