ℤ-local system cohomology of hyperplane arrangements and a Cohen–Dimca–Orlik type theorem

Abstract

Local system cohomology groups of the complements of hyperplane arrangements have played an important role in the theory of hypergeometric integrals, the topology of Milnor fibers and covering spaces. One of the important theorems is the vanishing theorem for generic [Formula: see text]-local systems which goes back to Aomoto’s work. Later, Cohen, Dimca, and Orlik proved a stronger version of the vanishing theorem. In this paper, we prove a Cohen–Dimca–Orlik type theorem for [Formula: see text]-local systems.
