Abstract

Each complex hyperplane arrangement A\mathcal{A} gives rise to a Milnor fibration of its complement. Building on work of Zuber, we give a combinatorial sufficient condition for the Milnor fiber F(A)F(\mathcal{A}) to be non-11-formal, expressed in terms of the multinet structure on A\mathcal{A}, and use it to produce an infinite family of monomial arrangements A(3k,3k,3)\mathcal{A}(3k,3k,3) with non-formal Milnor fibers. We also review the relevant background on cohomology jump loci, formality, and the topology of Milnor fibers of arrangements.
