Hyperplane Arrangements of rank $3$ admitting an unbalanced Ziegler restriction are known to fulfill Terao's conjecture. This long-standing conjecture asks whether the freeness of an arrangement is determined by its combinatorics. In this…
By way of Ziegler restrictions we study the relation between nearly free plane arrangements and combinatorics and we give a Yoshinaga-type criterion for plus-one generated plane arrangements.
Generalizing a result of Yoshinaga in dimension 3, we show that a central hyperplane arrangement in 4-space is free exactly if its restriction with multiplicities to a fixed hyperplane of the arrangement is free and its reduced…
We will consider some characterizations of freeness of a hyperplane arrangement, in terms of the following properties: locally freeness, factorization of characteristic polynomial and freeness of restricted multiarrangement. In the case of…
A free multiarrangement of rank $k$ is defined to be extendable if it is obtained from a simple rank $(k+1)$ free arrangement by the natural restriction to a hyperplane (in the sense of Ziegler). Not all free multiarrangements are…
We give the upper bound of differences of exponents for balanced 2-multiarrangements in terms of the cardinality of hyperplanes. Also, we give a shift isomorphism of 2-multiarrangements like Coxeter arrangements when the difference of…
In this paper, we show how to compute using Fitting ideals the nonfree locus of the moduli space of arrangements of a rank $3$ simple matroid, i.e., the subset of all points of the moduli space which parametrize nonfree arrangements. Our…
The freeness of hyperplane arrangements in a three dimensional vector space over finite field is discussed. We prove that if the number of hyperplanes is greater than some bound, then the freeness is determined by the characteristic…
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…
We establish a general theory for projective dimensions of the logarithmic derivation modules of hyperplane arrangements. That includes the addition-deletion and restriction theorem, Yoshinaga-type result, and the division theorem for…
Inspired by Terao's freeness conjecture, we examine Ziegler pairs, which are pairs of hyperplane arrangements that share the same underlying matroid but have different modules of logarithmic derivations. In this paper, we present a general…
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 introduce a new class of arrangements of hyperplanes, called (strictly) plus-one generated arrangements, from algebraic point of view. Plus-one generatedness is close to freeness, i.e., plus-one generated arrangements have their…
We construct counterexamples to Yoshinaga's conjecture that every free arrangement is either inductively free or rigid in characteristic zero. The smallest example has $13$ hyperplanes, its intersection lattice has a one dimensional moduli…
The addition-deletion theorems for hyperplane arrangements, which were originally shown in [H. Terao, Arrangements of hyperplanes and their freeness I, II. J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo Sect. IA Math. 27 (1980), 293--320], provide useful ways to…
We consider the triple $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{A}',\mathcal{A}^H)$ of hyperplane arrangements and the division of their characteristic polynomials. We show that the freeness of $\mathcal{A}^H$ and the division of $\chi(\mathcal{A};t)$ by…
Saito's criterion is a foundational result that algebraically characterizes free hyperplane arrangements via the determinant of a square matrix of logarithmic derivations. It is natural to ask whether this criterion can be generalized to…
We compare each coefficient of the reduced characteristic polynomial of a simple arrangement and that of its Ziegler restriction. As a consequence we can show that the former is not less than the latter in the category of tame arrangements.…
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…
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…
