On the $K(\pi, 1)$-problem for restrictions of complex reflection arrangements
Abstract
Let be a complex reflection group, and the set of the mirrors of the complex reflections in . It is known that the complement of the reflection arrangement is a space. For an intersection of hyperplanes in , let be the complement in of the hyperplanes in not containing . We hope that is always a . We prove it in case of the monomial groups . Using known results, we then show that there remain only three irreducible complex reflection groups, leading to just eight such induced arrangements for which this property remains to be proved.
