Abstract:
Let be a subspace arrangement with a geometric lattice such that for every . Using rational homotopy theory, we prove that the complement is rationally elliptic if and only if the sum is a direct sum. The homotopy type of is also given: it is a product of odd-dimensional spheres. Finally, some other equivalent conditions are given, such as Poincaré duality. Those results give a complete description of arrangements (with a geometric lattice and with the codimension condition on the subspaces) such that is rationally elliptic, and show that most arrangements have a hyperbolic complement.
