In geometry and combinatorics, an arrangement of hyperplanes is an arrangement of a finite set A of hyperplanes in a linear, affine, or projective space S.Questions about a hyperplane arrangement A generally concern geometrical, topological, or other properties of the complement, M(A), which is the set that remains when the hyperplanes are removed from the whole space.
In geometry, a hyperplane of an n-dimensional space V is a subspace of dimension n − 1, or equivalently, of codimension 1 in V.The space V may be a Euclidean space or more generally an affine space, or a vector space or a projective space, and the notion of hyperplane varies correspondingly since the definition of subspace differs in these settings; in all cases however, any hyperplane can ...
Conversely, if is a closed set with nonempty interior such that every point on the boundary has a supporting hyperplane, then is a convex set, and is the intersection of all its supporting closed half-spaces. [2] The hyperplane in the theorem may not be unique, as noticed in the second picture on the right.
As shown by Hiroaki Terao, a complex hyperplane arrangement is supersolvable if and only if its complement is fiber-type. [2] Examples include arrangements associated with Coxeter groups of type A and B. The Orlik–Solomon algebra of every supersolvable arrangement is a Koszul algebra; whether the converse is true is an open problem. [3]
Oriented-matroid theory allows a combinatorial approach to the max-flow min-cut theorem.A network with the value of flow equal to the capacity of an s-t cut. An oriented matroid is a mathematical structure that abstracts the properties of directed graphs, vector arrangements over ordered fields, and hyperplane arrangements over ordered fields. [1]
H is also called the ideal hyperplane. Similarly, starting from an affine space A , every class of parallel lines can be associated with a point at infinity . The union over all classes of parallels constitute the points of the hyperplane at infinity.
The lattice of flats of a graphic matroid can also be realized as the lattice of a hyperplane arrangement, in fact as a subset of the braid arrangement, whose hyperplanes are the diagonals = {(, …,) =}.
The smallest crystallographic hyperplane arrangement, Weyl groupoid, generalized root system, which is not of ordinary Lie type, is as follows. It appears for a diagonal Nichols algebra, even a super Lie algebra. The hyperplane arrangement can be constructed from a cuboctahedron (a platonic solid):
