Lectures on Orlik-Solomon Algebras

  • Conference paper
Arrangements, Local Systems and Singularities

Part of the book series: Progress in Mathematics ((PM,volume 283))

Abstract

The first part of this survey is an elementary introduction into Orlik-Solomon algebras. The remaining part is devoted to more recent results, such as the description of the geometric meaning of the Orlik-Solomon complex in terms of the computation of rank 1 local system cohomology via logarithmic connections.
