Symmetry of f-Vectors of Toric Arrangements in General Position and Some Applications

Abstract

A toric hyperplane is the preimage of a point in a circle of a continuous surjective group homomorphism from the n-torus to the circle. A toric hyperplane arrangement is a finite collection of such hyperplanes. In this paper, we study the combinatorial properties of toric hyperplane arrangements on n-tori which are spanning and in general position. Specifically, we describe the symmetry of f-vectors arising in such arrangements and a few applications of the result to count configurations of hyperplanes.
