Gauss-Manin Connections for Arrangements

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

We construct a formal connection on the Aomoto complex of an arrangement of hyperplanes, and use it to study the Gauss-Manin connection for the moduli space of the arrangement in the cohomology of a complex rank one local system. We prove that the eigenvalues of the Gauss-Manin connection are integral linear combinations of the weights which define the local system.
