The freeness of ideal subarrangements of Weyl arrangements

چکیده
A Weyl arrangement is the arrangement defined by the root system of a finite Weyl group. When a set of positive roots is an ideal in the root poset, we call the corresponding arrangement an ideal subarrangement. Our main theorem asserts that any ideal subarrangement is a free arrangement and that its exponents are given by the dual partition of the height distribution, which was conjectured by Sommers-Tymoczko. In particular, when an ideal subarrangement is equal to the entire Weyl arrangement, our main theorem yields the celebrated formula by Shapiro, Steinberg, Kostant, and Macdonald. The proof of the main theorem is classification-free. It heavily depends on the theory of free arrangements and thus greatly differs from the earlier proofs of the formula. Résumé. Un arrangement de Weyl est défini par l’arrangement d’hyperplans du système de racines d’un groupe de Weyl fini. Quand un ensemble de racines positives est un idéal dans le poset de racines, nous appelons l’arrangement correspondant un sous-arrangement idéal. Notre théorème principal affirme que tout sous-arrangement idéal est un arrangement libre et que ses exposants sont donnés par la partition duale de la distribution des hauteurs, ce qui avait été conjecturé par Sommers-Tymoczko. En particulier, quand le sous-arrangement idéal est égal à l’arrangement de Weyl, notre théorème principal donne la célèbre formule par Shapiro, Steinberg, Kostant et Macdonald. La démonstration du théorème principal n’utilise pas de classification. Elle dépend fortement de la théorie des arrangements libres et diffère ainsi grandement des démonstrations précédentes de la formule.

On Free Deformations of the Braid Arrangement
There has been considerable interest in the past in analyzing specific families of hyperplane arrangements from the perspective of freeness. Examples of such families have primarily included classes of subarrangements of Coxeter arrangements. The subarrangements of the braid arrangement An , the Weyl arrangement of type An−1, are known as the graphical arrangements. They correspond naturally to...
متن کاملUPPER BOUNDS ON THE NUMBER OF VERTICES OF WEIGHT ≤ k IN PARTICULAR ARRANGEMENTS OF PSEUDOCIRCLES
In arrangements of pseudocircles (Jordan curves) the weight of a vertex (intersection point) is the number of pseudocircles that contain the vertex in its interior. We give improved upper bounds on the number of vertices of weight ≤ k in certain arrangements of pseudocircles in the plane. In particular, forbidding certain subarrangements we improve the known bound of 6n − 12 (cf. [2]) for verti...
متن کاملEmbeddability of Arrangements of Pseudocircles into the Sphere
An arrangement of pseudocircles is a finite set of oriented closed Jordan curves each two of which cross each other in exactly two points. To describe the combinatorial structure of arrangements on closed orientable surfaces, in [6] so-called intersection schemes were introduced. Building up on results about the latter, we first clarify the notion of embedding of an arrangement. Once this is do...
متن کاملDivision of characteristic polynomials and the division theorem for free arrangements of hyperplanes
We consider the triple (A,A′,AH) of hyperplane arrangements and the division of their characteristic polynomials. We show that the freeness of A and the division of χ(A; t) by χ(A ; t) confirm the freeness ofA. The key ingredient of this “division theorem” on freeness is the fact that, if χ(A ; t) divides χ(A; t), then the same holds for the localization at the codimension three flat in H. This...
متن کاملSimplicial arrangements on convex cones
We introduce the notion of a Tits arrangement on a convex open cone as a special case of (infinite) simplicial arrangements. Such an object carries a simplicial structure similar to the geometric representation of Coxeter groups. The standard constructions of subarrangements and restrictions, which are known in the case of finite hyperplane arrangements, work as well in this more general settin...
