The Varchenko Matrix for Dehyperplane Arrangement

Abstract

This article computes the Varchenko determinant of dehyperplane arrangements which are generalizations of pseudohyperplane arrangements. But unlike those latter, they are defined on a real manifold, and it is not always possible to obtain a central dehyperplane arrangement by coning. This article also studies the solution space of a linear system defined from a dehyperplane arrangement. That equation system was first introduced by Aguiar and Mahajan for central hyperplane arrangements.
