In the present paper, we study conic-line arrangements having nodes, tacnodes, and ordinary triple points as singularities. We provide combinatorial constraints on such arrangements and we give the complete classification of free…

The reflection arrangement of a Coxeter group is a well known instance of a free hyperplane arrangement. In 2002, Terao showed that equipped with a constant multiplicity each such reflection arrangement gives rise to a free…

This paper begins by extending the notion of a combinatorial configuration of points and lines to a combinatorial configuration of points and planes that we refer to as configurations of order $2$. We then proceed to investigate a further…

Recently, Cuntz and K\"uhne introduced a particular class of hyperplane arrangements stemming from a given graph $G$, so called connected subgraph arrangements $A_G$. In this note we strengthen some of the result from their work and prove…

Let \A be a complex hyperplane arrangement, and let $X$ be a modular element of arbitrary rank in the intersection lattice of \A. We show that projection along $X$ restricts to a fiber bundle projection of the complement of \A to the…

Tame arrangements were informally introduced by Orlik and Terao for the study of Milnor fibers of hyperplane arrangements. After that, tame arrangements have been applied to a lot of researches on arrangements including freeness, master…

For a simplicial complex K on m vertices and simplicial complexes K1,...,Km a composed simplicial complex K(K1,...,Km) is introduced. This construction generalizes an iterated simplicial wedge construction studied by A. Bahri, M. Bendersky,…

Consider a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in $\mathbb R^d$. The hyperplanes dissect $\mathbb R^d$ into finitely many polyhedral chambers. For a point $x\in \mathbb R^d$ and a chamber $P$ the metric projection of $x$ onto $P$ is the…

For each $n > 0$ there is a one complex parameter family of homeomorphisms of the circle consisting of linear fractional transformations `conjugated by $z \to z^n$'. We show that these families are free of relations, which determines the…

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…

We define the type of a plane curve as the initial degree of the corresponding Bourbaki ideal. Then we show that this invariant behaves well with respect to the union of curves. Curves of type $0$ are precisely the free curves, while curves…

The purpose of this paper is to give new examples of families of free singularities. We first show that a generic equidimensional subspace arrangement is free. Furthermore, we show that a product of two reduced Cohen-Macaulay subspaces is…

A hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb P^n$ is said to be free if its associated sheaf $T_X$ of vector fields tangent to $X$ is a free ${\mathcal O}_{\mathbb P^n}$-module. So far few examples of free hypersurfaces are known. In this short note,…

We study some aspects of divisionally free arrangements which were recently introduced by Abe. Crucially, Terao's conjecture on the combinatorial nature of freeness holds within this class. We show that while it is compatible with products,…
