Computing characteristic polynomials of hyperplane arrangements with symmetries

Combinatorics 2025-05-21 v3

Abstract

We introduce a new algorithm computing the characteristic polynomials of hyperplane arrangements which exploits their underlying symmetry groups. Our algorithm counts the chambers of an arrangement as a byproduct of computing its characteristic polynomial. We showcase our julia implementation, based on OSCAR, on examples coming from hyperplane arrangements with applications to physics and computer science.
