Cohomology of hyperplane complements with group ring coefficients

Algebraic Topology 2010-02-23 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of the hyperplane arrangement.
