Intersection numbers of twisted cycles and cocycles for degenerate arrangements (1805.01714v1)
Published 4 May 2018 in math.AG and math.CA
Abstract: We study the intersection numbers defined on twisted homology or cohomology groups that are associated with hypergeometric integrals corresponding to degenerate hyperplane arrangements in the projective $k$-space. We present formulas to evaluate the intersection numbers in the case when exactly one $(k+1)$-tuple of the hyperplanes intersects at a point. As an application, we discuss the contiguity relations of hypergeometric functions in terms of the intersection numbers on twisted cohomology groups.
