A toric arrangement is a finite set of hypersurfaces in a complex torus, every hypersurface being the kernel of a character.

Abstract

A toric arrangement is a finite set of hypersurfaces in a complex torus, every hypersurface being the kernel of a character. In the present paper, we build a CW-complex homotopy equivalent to the arrangement complement, with a combinatorial description similar to that of the well-known Salvetti complex. If the toric arrangement is defined by a Weyl group, we also provide an algebraic description, very handy for cohomology computations. In the last part, we give a description in terms of tableaux for a toric arrangement appearing in robotics. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
