โœฆ Synopsis

It is well known that the complexification of the complement of the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes for a finite Coxeter group is an Eilenberg-MacLane space. In general, the cohomology of the complement of a general complex arrangement is well behaved and well understood. In this paper we consider the homotopy theory of such spaces. In particular, we study the Hurewicz map connecting homotopy and homology. As a consequence we are able to derive understanding of the "obstructions" to such spaces being Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. In particular, in the case of arrangements in a three-dimensional vector space, we find that whether or not the complement is Eilenberg-MacLane depends solely on its fundamental group.

We generalize results of Hattori on the topology of complements of hyperplane arrangements, from the class of generic arrangements, to the much broader class of hypersolvable arrangements. We show that the higher homotopy groups of the complement vanish in a certain combinatorially determined range,
