Abstract. We prove that if D is a "strongly quasihomogeneous" free divisor in the Stein manifold X, and U is its complement, then the de Rham cohomology of U can be computed as the cohomology of the complex of meromorphic differential forms on X with logarithmic poles along D, with exterior derivative. The class of strongly quasihomogeneous free divisors, introduced here, includes free hyperplane arrangements and the discriminants of stable mappings in Mather's nice dimensions (and in particular the discriminants of Coxeter groups).
Abstract. Let D, x be a plane curve germ. We prove that the complex Ω • (log D)x computes the cohomology of the complement of D, x only if D is quasihomogeneous. This is a partial converse to a theorem of [5], which asserts that this complex does compute the cohomology of the complement, whenever D is a locally weighted homogeneous free divisor (and so in particular when D is a quasihomogeneous plane curve germ). We also give an example of a free divisor D ⊂ C 3 which is not locally weighted homogeneous, but for which this (second) assertion continues to hold.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
