Abstract

In 1985 Crapo introduced in \cite{Crapo} a new mathematical object that he called geometry of circuits\textit{geometry of circuits}. Four years later, in 1989, Manin and Schechtman defined in \cite{MS} the same object and called it discriminantal arrangement\textit{discriminantal arrangement}, the name by which it is known now a days. Those discriminantal arrangements B(n,k,A0)\mathcal{B}(n,k,\mathcal{A}^0) are builded from an arrangement A0\mathcal{A}^0 of nn hyperplanes in general position in a kk-dimensional space and their combinatorics depends on the arrangement A0\mathcal{A}^0. On this basis, in 1997 Bayer and Brandt (see \cite{BB}) distinguished two different type of arrangements A0\mathcal{A}^0 calling very generic\textit{very generic} the ones for which the intersection lattice of B(n,k,A0)\mathcal{B}(n,k,\mathcal{A}^0) has maximum cardinality and non-very generic\textit{non-very generic} the others. Results on the combinatorics of B(n,k,A0)\mathcal{B}(n,k,\mathcal{A}^0) in the very generic case already appear in Crapo \cite{Crapo} and in 1997 in Athanasiadis \cite{Atha} while the first known result on non-very generic case is due to Libgober and the first author in 2018. In their paper \cite{LS} they provided a necessary and sufficient condition on A0\mathcal{A}^0 for which the cardinality of rank 2 intersections in B(n,k,A0)\mathcal{B}(n,k,\mathcal{A}^0) is not maximal anymore. In this paper we further develop their result providing a sufficient condition on A0\mathcal{A}^0 for which the cardinality of rank r, r2r \geq 2, intersections in B(n,k,A0)\mathcal{B}(n,k,\mathcal{A}^0) decreases.
