Abstract: Motivated by Kohno's result on the holonomy Lie algebra of a hyperplane arrangement, we define the holonomy Lie algebra of a finite geometric lattice in a combinatorial way. For a solvable pair of lattices, we show that the holonomy Lie algebra is an almost-direct product of the holonomy Lie algebra of the sublattice and a free Lie subalgebra. This yields the structure of the holonomy Lie algebra of a finite hypersolvable (including supersolvable) lattice. As applications, we obtain the structure of the holonomy Lie algebra of (the Salvetti complex of) a supersolvable oriented matroid, and that of a hypersolvable arrangement.
