Abstract

It is shown that the Orlik-Terao algebra is graded isomorphic to the special fiber of the ideal II generated by the (n1)(n-1)-fold products of the members of a central arrangement of size nn. This momentum is carried over to the Rees algebra (blowup) of II and it is shown that this algebra is of fiber-type and Cohen-Macaulay. It follows by a result of Simis-Vasconcelos that the special fiber of II is Cohen-Macaulay, thus giving another proof of a result of Proudfoot-Speyer about the Cohen-Macauleyness of the Orlik-Terao algebra.
