On Smith normal forms of $q$-Varchenko matrices

Combinatorics 2023-03-15 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate qq-Varchenko matrices for some hyperplane arrangements with symmetry in two and three dimensions, and prove that they have a Smith normal form over Z[q]\mathbb Z[q]. In particular, we examine the hyperplane arrangement for the regular nn-gon in the plane and the dihedral model in the space and Platonic polyhedra. In each case, we prove that the qq-Varchenko matrix associated with the hyperplane arrangement has a Smith normal form over Z[q]\mathbb Z[q] and realize their congruent transformation matrices over Z[q]\mathbb Z[q] as well.
