The fundamental group of the complement of a plane curve is a very important topological invariant. In particular, it is interesting to find out whether this group is determined by the combinatorics of the curve or not, and whether it is a…
We establish the existence and uniqueness of finite free resolutions - and their attendant Betti numbers - for graded commuting d-tuples of Hilbert space operators. Our approach is based on the notion of free cover of a (perhaps…
In this paper, we study the class of free multiarrangements of hyperplanes. Specifically, we investigate the relations between freeness over a field of finite characteristic and freeness over the rationals.
We study the geometry of $\mathcal{Q}$-conic arrangements in the complex projective plane. These are arrangements consisting of smooth conics and they admit certain quasi-homogeneous singularities. We show that such $\mathcal{Q}$-conic…
An m-free hyperplane arrangement is a generalization of a free arrangement. Holm asked the following two questions: (1)Does m-free imply (m+1)-free for any arrangement? (2)Are all arrangements m-free for m large enough? In this paper, we…
Given a closed ideal $I$ in a C*-algebra $A$, we show that $A$ is pure if and only if $I$ and $A/I$ are pure. More generally, we study permanence of comparison and divisibility properties when passing to extensions. As an application we…
Call a curve $C \subset \mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ transverse-free if every line over $\mathbb{F}_q$ intersects $C$ at some closed point with multiplicity at least 2. In 2004, Poonen used a notion of density to treat Bertini…
Let $\A$ be a free arrangement of $d$ lines in the complex projective plane, with exponents $d_1\leq d_2$. Let $m$ be the maximal multiplicity of points in $\A$. In this note, we describe first the simple cases $d_1 \leq m$. Then we study…
We study the classes of free and plus-one generated hyperplane arrangements. Specifically, we describe how to compute the associated prime ideals of the Jacobian ideal of such an arrangement from its lattice of intersection. Moreover, we…
We prove the irredcibility (and the rational connectedness) of the moduli spaces of (free) morphisms from a projective line to a successive blowing-up of a product of projective spaces if a suitable numerical condition on morphisms is…
For an essential, central hyperplane arrangement A in V=k^{n+1}, we show that \Omega^1(A) (the module of logarithmic one forms with poles along A) gives rise to a locally free sheaf on P^n if and only if for all X in L_A with rank X<dim V,…
Let A be a generic hyperplane arrangement composed of r hyperplanes in an n-dimensional vector space, and S the polynomial ring in n variables. We consider the S-submodule D(m)(A) of the nth Weyl algebra of homogeneous differential…
We introduce the class of MAT-free hyperplane arrangements which is based on the Multiple Addition Theorem by Abe, Barakat, Cuntz, Hoge, and Terao. We also investigate the closely related class of MAT2-free arrangements based on a recent…
We show that if the fundamental groups of the complements of two line arrangements in the complex projective plane are isomorphic to the same direct sum of free groups, then the complements of the arrangements are homotopy equivalent. For…
We prove using an extension of Saito's criterion that the algebra of differential operators tangent to a free hyperplane arrangement is generated by the derivations of the arrangement, recovering in this way a result of F. J.…
For any morphism of $\infty$-operads $\mathcal{P} \to \mathcal{O}$, we show that the free $\mathcal{O}$-algebra on a $\mathcal{P}$-algebra admits an explicit formula as the colimit over the $\mathcal{O}$-monoidal envelope of $\mathcal{P}$,…
We prove that for any algebraic plane curve $C$ of degree at most $5$, the fundamental group $\pi_1(\mathbb CP^2\setminus C)$ is linear and virtually polyfree. As a consequence, we answer positively the open question on the residual…
Any arrangement of hyperplanes in general position in $P^n$ can be regarded as a divisor with normal crossing. We study the bundles of logarithmic 1-forms corresponding to such divisors` from the point of view of classification of vector…
In this note we study the logarithmic derivation module of a non-free arrangement. We prove a generalized addition theorem for all arrangements. This addition theorem allows us to find various relationships between non-free arrangements,…
This article, which is substantially motivated by the previous joint work with J. McKay [8], establishes the analytic analogues of the relations we found free probability has with Witt vectors. Therefore, we first present a novel analytic…
