Arrangements of Hyperplanes

An arrangement of hyperplanes is a finite collection ofcodimension one affine subspaces in a finite dimensionalvector space. Arrangements have emerged independently asimportant objects in various fields of mathematics such ascombinatorics, braids, configuration spaces, representationtheory, reflection groups, singularity theory, and incomputer science and physics.This book is the first comprehensive study of the subject.It treats arrangements with methods from combinatorics,algebra, algebraic ge
