We present a new combinatorial method to determine the characteristic polynomial of any subspace arrangement that is defined over an infinite field, generalizing the work of Blass and Sagan. Our methods stem from the theory of valuations and Groemer's integral theorem. As a corollary of our main the

We define the Dowling transform of a real frame arrangement and show how the characteristic polynomial changes under this transformation. As a special case, the Dowling transform sends the braid arrangement A n to the Dowling arrangement. Using Zaslavsky's characterization of supersolvability of sig
As an example, consider the elliptic curve E: y 2 +xy=x 3 +:, where : generates GF(4), the field with four elements, and take l to be 5. There are 25 elements of E[5], including the identity element and twelve pairs P i =(x i , y i ) and &P i =(x i , x i + y i ). The twelve distinct x-coordinates ar
