A Salvetti complex for Toric Arrangements and its fundamental group

Combinatorics 2011-02-22 v2 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We describe a combinatorial model for the complement of a complexified toric arrangement by using nerves of acyclic categories. This generalizes recent work of Moci and Settepanella on thick toric arrangements. Moreover, we compute its fundamental group by finding a (finite) presentation.
