Drawing parallels with hyperplane arrangements, we develop the theory of arrangements of submanifolds. Given a smooth, finite dimensional, real manifold $X$ we consider a finite collection $\mathcal{A}$ of locally flat, codimension-1 submanifolds that intersect like hyperplanes. To such a collection we associate two combinatorial objects: the face category and the intersection poset. We also associate a topological space to the arrangement called the tangent bundle complement. It is the…

Arrangements of Spheres and Projective Spaces

We develop the theory of arrangements of spheres. Consider a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subspheres in a positive-dimensional sphere. There are two posets associated with this collection:

Arrangements of codimension-one submanifolds

We study the number f of connected components in the complement to a finite set (arrangement) of closed submanifolds of codimension 1 in a closed manifold M. In the case of arrangements of closed

Combinatorial Invariants of Toric Arrangements

An arrangement is a collection of subspaces of a topological space. For example, a set of codimension one affine subspaces in a finite dimensional vector space is an arrangement of hyperplanes. A

Coxeter transformation groups and reflection arrangements in smooth manifolds

• Mathematics
• 2014
We represent a Coxeter group as a subgroup of diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. These so-called Coxeter transformation groups fix a union of codimension-1 (reflecting) submanifolds and permute

On arrangements of pseudohyperplanes

To every realizable oriented matroid there corresponds an arrangement of real hyperplanes. The homeomorphism type of the complexified complement of such an arrangement is completely determined by the

We define a partial ordering on the set Q = Q(M) of pairs of topes of an oriented matroid M, and show the geometric realization |Q| of the order complex of Q has the same homotopy type as the

We show that if $X$ is a smooth quasi-projective $3$-fold admitting a flopping contraction, then the fundamental group of an associated simplicial hyperplane arrangement acts faithfully on the

On a Generalization of Zaslavsky’s Theorem for Hyperplane Arrangements

We define arrangements of codimension-1 submanifolds in a smooth manifold which generalize arrangements of hyperplanes. When these submanifolds are removed the manifold breaks up into regions, each

On the number of connected components in complements to arrangements of submanifolds

We consider arrangements of n connected codimensional one submanifolds in closed d-dimensional manifold M. Let f be the number of connected components of the complement in M to the union of

Combinatorial stratification of complex arrangements

We present a method for discretizing complex hyperplane arrange- ments by encoding their topology into a finite partially ordered set of "sign vectors." This is used in the following ways: (1) A

Universal cover of Salvetti's complex and topology of simplicial arrangements of hyperplanes

Let V be a real vector space. An arrangement of hyperplanes in V is a finite set A of hyperplanes through the origin. A chamber of A is a connected component of V − (∪ H ∈ A H). The arrangement A is

We prove combinatorial formulas for the homotopy type of the union of the subspaces in an (affine, compactified affine, spherical or projective) subspace arrangement. From these formulas we derive

Abstract We present a new combinatorial method to determine the characteristic polynomial of any subspace arrangement that is defined over an infinite field, generalizing the work of Blass and Sagan.

The integer cohomology of toric Weyl arrangements

A referee found an error in the proof of the Theorem 2 that we could not fix. More precisely, the proof of Lemma 2.1 is incorrect. Hence the fact that integer cohomology of complement of toric Weyl
