Logarithmic derivations associated to line arrangements

Combinatorics 2023-12-18 v3

Abstract

In this paper we give full classification of rank 3 line arrangements in P2\mathbb P^2 (over a field of characteristic 0) that have a minimal logarithmic derivation of degree 3. The classification presents their defining polynomials, up to a change of variables, with their corresponding affine pictures. We also analyze the shape of such a logarithmic derivation, towards obtaining criteria for a line arrangement to possess a cubic minimal logarithmic derivation.
