For a discriminantal arrangement in C^k, the skew-symmetric cohomology is nontrivial in dimension k-1 precisely when the \"master function\" which defines the local system on the complement has nonisolated critical points. In symmetric coordinates, the critical set is a union of lines. Generically, the dimension of this nontrivial skew-symmetric cohomology group is equal to the number of critical lines.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-11-16T22:37:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10", "32S22", "52C35", "55N25" ], "keywords": [ "resonant local systems", "discriminantal arrangement", "complement", "nontrivial skew-symmetric cohomology group", "discriminantal hyperplane arrangement" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....11253C" } } }
