We produce a one-parameter family of hyperplane arrangements that are counterexamples to the conjecture of Saito that the complexified complement of a free arrangement is $K(\pi,1)$. These arrangements are the restriction of a one-parameter…

In 2002, Terao showed that every reflection multi-arrangement of a real reflection group with constant multiplicity is free by providing a basis of the module of derivations. We first generalize Terao's result to multi-arrangements stemming…

Answering a question of Leo Versteegen, we prove that for $n\ge 3$ every sum-free set $A\subseteq\mathbb{F}_5^n$ with $|A|\ge 28\cdot 5^{n-3}$ is either contained in the union of two parallel hyperplanes, or isomorphic to $\Lambda\times…

We show that there are only finitely many combinatorial types of free real line arrangements with only double, triple and quadruple intersection points, and we enlist all admissible weak-combinatorics of them. Then we classify all real…

In the category of free arrangements, inductively and recursively free arrangements are important. In particular, in the former, Terao's open problem asking whether freeness depends only on combinatorics is true. A long standing problem…

Let ${\mathcal C}= \bigcup_{i=1}^n C_i \subseteq \mathbb{P}^2$ be a collection of smooth rational plane curves. We prove that the addition-deletion operation used in the study of hyperplane arrangements has an extension which works for a…

In 1989, Ziegler introduced the concept of a multi-arrangement. One natural example is the reflection arrangement of a unitary reflection group with multiplicity given by the number of reflections associated with each hyperplane. For all…

A subspace arrangement in a vector space is a finite collection of vector subspaces. Similarly, a configuration of linear spaces in a projective space is a finite collection of linear subspaces. In this paper we study the degree 2 part of…

In this article we describe two new characterizations of freeness for hyperplane arrangements via the study of the generic initial ideal and of the sectional matrix of the Jacobian ideal of arrangements.

In this article we prove that the ideal-Shi arrangements are free central arrangements of hyperplanes satisfying the dual-partition formula. Then it immediately follows that there exists a saturated free filtration of the cone of any affine…

We show that all the possible pairs of integers occur as exponents for free or nearly free irreducible plane curves and line arrangements, by producing only two types of simple families of examples. The topology of the complements of these…

In these notes we study hyperplane arrangements having at least one logarithmic derivation of degree two that is not a combination of degree one logarithmic derivations. It is well-known that if a hyperplane arrangement has a linear…

We study enumerative questions on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}(L)$ of hyperplane arrangements with a given intersection lattice $L$. Mn\"ev's universality theorem suggests that these moduli spaces can be arbitrarily complicated; indeed it…

Let $A$ be a free hyperplane arrangement. In 1989, Ziegler showed that the restriction $A''$ of $A$ to any hyperplane endowed with the natural multiplicity is then a free multiarrangement. We initiate a study of the stronger freeness…

We show that for every lattice packing of $n$-dimensional spheres there exists an $(n/\log_2(n))$-dimensional affine plane which does not meet any of the spheres in their interior, provided $n$ is large enough. Such an affine plane is…

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…

In this article we prove in the main theorem that, there is a bijection between the isomorphism classes of a certain type of real hyperplane arrangements on the one hand, and the antipodal pairs of convex cones of an associated…

A complex hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be decomposable if there are no elements in the degree 3 part of its holonomy Lie algebra besides those coming from the rank 2 flats. When this purely combinatorial condition is…

A Weyl arrangement is the hyperplane arrangement defined by a root system. Arnold and Saito proved that every Weyl arrangement is free. The Weyl subarrangements of type $A_{\ell}$ are represented by simple graphs. Stanley gave a…

Erd\H{o}s asked what is the maximum number $\alpha(n)$ such that every set of $n$ points in the plane with no four on a line contains $\alpha(n)$ points in general position. We consider variants of this question for $d$-dimensional point…
