Abstract: In this paper we prove that the complement to the affine complex arrangement of type widetilde{B}_n is a K(pi, 1) space. We also compute the cohomology of the affine Artin group G of type widetilde{B}_n with coefficients over several interesting local systems. In particular, we consider the module Q[q^{pm 1}, t^{pm 1}], where the first n-standard generators of G act by (-q)-multiplication while the last generator acts by (-t)-multiplication. Such representation generalizes the analog 1-parameter representation related to the bundle structure over the complement to the discriminant hypersurface, endowed with the monodromy action of the associated Milnor fibre. The cohomology of G with trivial coefficients is derived from the previous one.

Review text

The authors prove that the complement of the complex affine hyperplane arrangement of type \(\widetilde B_n\) is a \(K(\pi,1)\). The idea of the proof is to show that the hyperplane arrangement complement in question covers a space which is (up to a \(\mathbb{C}^*\) factor) the complement of a finite simplicial arrangement which is known to be a \(K(\pi,1)\) by work of \textit{P. Deligne} [Invent. Math. 17, 273-302 (1972; Zbl 0238.20034)]. Exploiting this fact, in the second part of the paper, the authors compute the cohomology of the Artin group of type \(\widetilde B_n\) with different types of local coefficients. The main tools here are Salvetti's complex and spectral sequences.
