Characteristic varieties and logarithmic differential 1-forms

Abstract

We introduce in this paper a hypercohomology version of the resonance varieties and obtain some relations to the characteristic varieties of rank one local systems on a smooth quasi-projective complex variety $M$, see Theorem (3.1) and Corollaries (3.2) and (4.2). A logarithmic resonance variety is also considered in Proposition (4.5). As an application, we determine the first characteristic variety of the configuration space of $n$ distinct labeled points on an elliptic curve, see Proposition (5.1). Finally, for a logarithmic one form $\alpha$ on $M$ we investigate the relation between the resonance degree of $\alpha$ and the codimension of the zero set of $\alpha$ on a good compactification of $M$, see Corollary (1.1). This question was inspired by the recent work by D. Cohen, G. Denham, M. Falk and A. Varchenko.

18 pages, in this new version Remark 6.4 is extended, a reference to a result by Green and Lazarsfeld is added and some minor corrections are done
