The cohomology on the complement of hyperplanes with the coefficients in the rank one local system associated to a generic weight vanishes except in the highest dimension. In this paper, we construct matroids or arrangements and its weights with non-vanishing cohomology of Orlik-Solomon algebras, using decomposable relations arising from Latin hypercubes.

In this paper we axiomatize combinatorics of arrangements of affine hyperplanes, which is a generalization of matroids, called quasi-matroids. We show that quasi-matroids are equivalent to pointed matroids. On the other hand, the Orlik-Solomon (OS) algebra of a quasimatroid can be constructed. We prove that the OS algebra of a quasi-matroid is isomorphic to the direct image of the OS algebra of a matroid by the linear derivation.

Abstract. In this paper we prove a vanishing theorem and construct bases for the cohomology of partially trivial local systems on complements of hyperplane arrangements. As a result, we obtain a non-resonance condition for partially trivial local systems.
