The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of a matrix defined from an arrangement of hyperplanes. Varchenko proved that this determinant has a beautiful factorization. It is, however, not possible to use this factorization to compute a…
Varchenko defined the Varchenko matrix associated to any real hyperplane arrangement and computed its determinant. In this paper, we show that the Varchenko matrix of a hyperplane arrangement has a diagonal form if and only if it is…
The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of the bilinear form associated to a real hyperplane arrangement. We show that we can obtain the exact value of this determinant for certain hyperplane arrangements if we know the edges which are…
Varchenko introduced a distance function on chambers of hyperplane arrangements that he called quantum bilinear form. That gave rise to a determinant indexed by chambers whose entry in position $(C,D)$ is the distance between $C$ and $D$:…
This work builds on Varchenko et al's introduction of bilinear forms for hyperplane arrangements, where the determinant of the associated matrices factorizes into simple components. While one of the determinant formula developed by…
We generalize the Varchenko matrix of a hyperplane arrangement to oriented matroids. We show that the celebrated determinant formula for the Varchenko matrix, first proved by Varchenko, generalizes to oriented matroids. It follows that the…
The construction of the Varchenko matrix for hyperplane arrangements, first introduced by Alexandre Varchenko, extends naturally to oriented matroids. In this paper, we generalize the theorem of Gao and Zhang by proving that the Varchenko…
Varchenko introduced in 1993 a distance function on the chambers of a hyperplane arrangement that gave rise to a determinant whose entry in position $(C, D)$ is the distance between the chambers $C$ and $D$, and computed that determinant.…
We generalize the (signed) Varchenko matrix of a hyperplane arrangement to complexes of oriented matroids and show that its determinant has a nice factorization. This extends previous results on hyperplane arrangements and oriented…
We study Pythagorean hyperplane arrangements, originally defined by Zaslavsky. In this first part of a series on such arrangements, we introduce a new notion of genericity for such arrangements. Using this notion we construct an auxiliary…
The discriminantal arrangement is the space of configurations of $n$ hyperplanes in generic position in a $k$ dimensional space (see \cite{MS}). Differently from the case $k=1$ in which it corresponds to the well known braid arrangement,…
For a real affine hyperplane arrangement, we define an integer intersection matrix with a natural $q$-deformation related to the intersections of bounded chambers of the arrangement. By connecting the integer matrix to a bilinear form of…
The Varchenko matrix is known to have a well-structured determinant for complexes of oriented matroids (COMs). COMs can be characterized as partial cubes that do not have certain forbidden pc-minors. In this work, we generalize the…
A central hyperplane arrangement in C^2 with multiplicity is called a `locus configuration' if it satisfies a series of `locus equations' on each hyperplane. Following Chalykh, Feigin and Veselov [CFV99], we demonstrate that the first locus…
A recurring task in particle physics and statistics is to compute the complex critical points of a product of powers of affine-linear functions. The logarithmic discriminant characterizes exponents for which such a function has a degenerate…
We define arrangements of codimension-1 submanifolds in a smooth manifold which generalize arrangements of hyperplanes. When these submanifolds are removed the manifold breaks up into regions, each of which is homeomorphic to an open disc.…
In the first part of this paper, we consider, in the context of an arbitrary hyperplane arrangement, the map between compactly supported cohomology to the usual cohomology of a local system. A formula (i.e., an explicit algebraic de Rham…
Discriminantal arrangements are hyperplane arrangements, which are generalized braid ones. They are constructed from given hyperplane arrangements, but their combinatorics are not invariant under combinatorial equivalence. However, it is…
In this paper, we investigate $q$-Varchenko matrices for some hyperplane arrangements with symmetry in two and three dimensions, and prove that they have a Smith normal form over $\mathbb Z[q]$. In particular, we examine the hyperplane…
We fix three natural numbers $k, n, N$, such that $n+k+1=N$, and introduce the notion of two dual arrangements of hyperplanes. One of the arrangements is an arrangement of $N$ hyperplanes in a $k$-dimensional affine space, the other is an…
