Free reflection multiarrangements and quasi-invariants (2112.06738v2)

Abstract: To a complex reflection arrangement with an invariant multiplicity function one can relate the space of logarithmic vector fields and the space of quasi-invariants, which are both modules over invariant polynomials. We establish a close relation between these modules. Berest-Chalykh freeness results for the module of quasi-invariants lead to new free complex reflection multiarrangements. K. Saito's primitive derivative gives a linear map between certain spaces of quasi-invariants. We also establish a close relation between non-homogeneous quasi-invariants for root systems and logarithmic vector fields for the extended Catalan arrangements. As an application, we prove the freeness of Catalan arrangements corresponding to the non-reduced root system $BC_N$.
