Abstract

Let GG be a simple graph on the vertex set {v1,,vn}\{v_1,\dots,v_n\} with edge set EE. Let KK be a field. The graphical arrangement AG\mathcal{A}_G in KnK^n is the arrangement xixj=0,vivjEx_i-x_j=0, v_iv_j \in E. An arrangement A\mathcal{A} is supersolvable if the intersection lattice L(c(A))L(c(\mathcal{A})) of the cone c(A)c(\mathcal{A}) contains a maximal chain of modular elements. The second author has shown that a graphical arrangement AG\mathcal{A}_G is supersolvable if and only if GG is a chordal graph. He later considered a generalization of graphical arrangements which are called ψ\psi-graphical arrangements. He conjectured a characterization of the supersolvability and freeness (in the sense of Terao) of a ψ\psi-graphical arrangement. We provide a proof of the first conjecture and state some conditions on free ψ\psi-graphical arrangements.
