Topology of hyperplane arrangements and related 3-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
One of the central questions in the topology of hyperplane arrangements is whether several topological invariants are combinatorially determined. While the cohomology ring of the complement has a combinatorial description, it remains open whether even the first Betti number of the Milnor fiber is. In contrast, the homeomorphism types of 3-manifolds appearing as the boundary manifold of projective line arrangements and the Milnor fiber boundary of arrangements in a 3-dimensional space are combinatorially determined. In this talk, we focus on these 3-manifolds. In particular, we will present the cohomology ring structure for the boundary manifold, originally due to Cohen-Suciu, and an explicit formula for the homology group of the Milnor fiber boundary of generic arrangements.
