Let f be the number of connected components of the complement in M to the union of submanifolds. We prove the sharp lower bound for f via n and homology group H_{d-1}(M). The sets of all possible f-values for given n are studied for hyperplane arrangements in real projective spaces and for subtori arrangements in d-dimensional tori.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-16T11:47:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52C35" ], "keywords": [ "connected components", "submanifolds", "complement", "sharp lower bound", "d-dimensional tori" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.3476S" } } }
