Between Ish and Shi

Abstract

We introduce a new family of hyperplane arrangements in dimension n3n\geq3 that includes both the Shi arrangement and the Ish arrangement. We prove that all the members of a given subfamily have the same number of regions - the connected components of the complement of the union of the hyperplanes - which can be bijectively labeled with the Pak-Stanley labeling. In addition, we show that, in the cases of the Shi and the Ish arrangements, the number of labels with reverse centers of a given length is equal, and conjecture that the same happens with all of the members of the family.
