Abstract
Throughout this chapter we will fix an arrangement A = {A1A2,…,Am} of affine subspaces of ℝn, let P denote the corresponding partially ordered set of flats which are the intersections of the affine spaces, let T denote the unique maximal element of P corresponding to ℝn, and let K(P)denote the order complex of P. We denote by M = ℝn − ∪ A the space of interest, i.e., the complement of the affine subspaces in A.
