A linear condition for non-very generic discriminantal arrangements

Combinatorics 2022-05-11 v1

Abstract

The discriminantal arrangement is the space of configurations of nn hyperplanes in generic position in a kk dimensional space (see \cite{MS}). Differently from the case k=1k=1 in which it corresponds to the well known braid arrangement, the discriminantal arrangement in the case k>1k>1 has a combinatorics which depends from the choice of the original nn hyperplanes. It is known that this combinatorics is constant in an open Zariski set Z\mathcal{Z}, but to assess wether or not nn fixed hyperplanes in generic position belongs to Z\mathcal{Z} proved to be a nontrivial problem. Even to simply provide examples of configurations not in Z\mathcal{Z} is still a difficult task. In this paper, moving from a recent result in \cite{SSc}, we define a weak linear independency\textit{weak linear independency} condition among sets of vectors which, if imposed, allows to build configurations of hyperplanes not in Z\mathcal{Z}. We provide 33 examples.
