Abstract

In previous papers the author characterized free arrangements of hyperplanes by the vanishing of cohomology of the intersection lattice with coefficients in a certain sheaf of graded modules over a polynomial ring. The main result of this paper is that for a locally free arrangement the degrees of nonzero homogeneous components of the cohomology modules are bounded by a number depending only on the intersection lattice. In particular, the Hilbert coefficients of the module of derivations of a locally free arrangement are combinatorial invariants. Another result of the paper asserts that the set of free arrangements is Zariski open in the set of all arrangements with a given intersection lattice.
