Derivation degree sequences of non-free arrangements

Max Wakefield

In this note we study the logarithmic derivation module of a non-free arrangement. We prove a generalized addition theorem for all arrangements. This addition theorem allows us to…

A componentwise version of Terao's conjecture

William N. Traves, Max Wakefield

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to crucial error in the main proof (located in Section 2.4). The authors apologize for any inconveniences.

Chain characteristic polynomials of matroids

Gary Lazzaro, Max Wakefield, Jason Weiss

In this note we introduce a family of polynomials on a matroid derived from chain Tutte polynomials which generalize the classic and ubiquitous characteristic polynomial. We show t…

Free Multiplicities on the moduli of

Michael DiPasquale, Max Wakefield

In this note we study the freeness of the module of derivations on all moduli of the arrangement with multiplicities. We use homological techniques stemming from work of Yuzv…

The Jacobian ideal of a hyperplane arrangement

Max Wakefield, Masahiko Yoshinaga

The Jacobian ideal of a hyperplane arrangement is an ideal in the polynomial ring whose generators are the partial derivatives of the arrangements defining polynomial. In this arti…

The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid

Ben Elias, Nicholas Proudfoot, Max Wakefield

We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representa…

Partial flag incidence algebras

Max Wakefield

The partial flag incidence algebra of a poset is the set of functions from to some ring which are zero on non-partial flag vectors. These partial flag incidence…

Derivations of an effective divisor on the complex projective line

Max Wakefield, Sergey Yuzvinsky

In this paper we consider an effective divisor on the complex projective line and associate with it the module D consisting of all the derivations such that $θ(I_i)\subset I_…

Chain Tutte polynomials

Max Wakefield

The Tutte polynomial and Derksen's -invariant are the universal deletion-contraction and valuative matroid and polymatroid invariants, respectively. There are only a h…

Limits with braid arrangements

Matthew S. Miller, Max Wakefield

We define a monoid structure on the set of -equal arrangements and use this structure to define limits of braid arrangements. We compute the cohomology of the associated limits…

A non-associative incidence near-ring with a generalized Möbius function

John Johnson, Max Wakefield

There is a convolution product on 3-variable partial flag functions of a locally finite poset that produces a generalized Möbius function. Under the product this generalized Möbi…

The characteristic polynomial of a multiarrangement

Takuro Abe, Hiroaki Terao, Max Wakefield

Given a multiarrangement of hyperplanes we define a series by sums of the Hilbert series of the derivation modules of the multiarrangement. This series turns out to be a polynomial…

Edge colored hypergraphic arrangements

Matthew Miller, Max Wakefield

A subspace arrangement defined by intersections of hyperplanes of the braid arrangement can be encoded by an edge colored hypergraph. It turns out that the characteristic polynomia…

Intersection cohomology of the symmetric reciprocal plane

Nicholas Proudfoot, Max Wakefield, Benjamin Young

We compute the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of the uniform matroid of rank n-1 on n elements by proving that the i-th coefficient of is equal to the number of ways to choose i non-in…

Skeleton Simplicial Evaluation Codes

James Berg, Max Wakefield

For a subspace arrangement over a finite field we study the evaluation code defined on the arrangement's set of points. The length of this code is given by the subspace arrangement…

The Enumerative Geometry of Hyperplane Arrangements

Thomas Paul, Will Traves, Max Wakefield

We study enumerative questions on the moduli space of hyperplane arrangements with a given intersection lattice . Mnëv's universality theorem suggests that the…

Equivalence classes of Latin squares and nets in CP^2

Corey Dunn, Matthew S. Miller, Max Wakefield +1

The fundamental combinatorial structure of a net in CP^2 is its associated set of mutually orthogonal latin squares. We define equivalence classes of sets of orthogonal Latin squar…

Local cohomology of logarithmic forms

Graham Denham, Hal Schenck, Mathias Schulze +2

Let Y be a divisor on a smooth algebraic variety X. We investigate the geometry of the Jacobian scheme of Y, homological invariants derived from logarithmic differential forms alon…

The Euler multiplicity and addition-deletion theorems for multiarrangements

Takuro Abe, Hiroaki Terao, Max Wakefield

The addition-deletion theorems for hyperplane arrangements, which were originally shown in [H. Terao, Arrangements of hyperplanes and their freeness I, II. J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo…
