Resonance webs of hyperplane arrangements

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Each irreducible component of the first resonance variety of a hyperplane arrangement naturally determines a codimension one foliation on the ambient space. The superposition of these foliations define what we call the resonance web of the arrangement. In this paper we initiate the study of these objects with emphasis on their spaces of abelian relations.


Let \({\mathcal A} \) be a hyperplane arrangement in \(P^n\), and let the complement of \({\mathcal A}\) be denoted by \(M\). Denote the torsion free cohomology ring of \(M\) by \(H^*(M, Z)\). Given \(a\in H^1(M, C)\), consider the complex given by multiplication by \(a\), where \(h^i: H^i(M) \to H^{i+1}(M)\). The resonance varieties of \(M\) are given by \(R^i(M) = \{a \in H^1(M) \mid h^i(H^*(M), a) \neq 0\}\). The first resonance variety was studied by \textit{M. Falk} and \textit{S. Yuzvinsky} [Compos. Math. 143, No. 4, 1069--1088 (2007; Zbl 1122.52009)]. For each irreducible component \(\Sigma\) of the resonance variety \(R^1(M)\), there is a unique foliation \({\mathcal F}_\Sigma\) on \(P^n\) defined by the corresponding pencil of hypersurfaces. The author defines the resonance web \({\mathcal W}(A)\) which is the superposition of all the foliations \({\mathcal F}_\Sigma\) associated to irreducible components of \(R^1\) and studies its space of abelian relations. The main result determines the rank of the resonance webs for the braid arrangements.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1242.14003].
