The Homology of the Real Complement of a $k$-parabolic Subspace Arrangement

Abstract
English
The $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement, introduced by Barcelo, Severs and White, is a generalization of the well known $k$-equal arrangements of type-$A$ and type-$B$. In this paper we use the discrete Morse theory of Forman to study the homology of the complements of $k$-parabolic subspace arrangements. In doing so, we recover some known results of Björner et al. and provide a combinatorial interpretation of the Betti numbers for any $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement. The paper provides results for any $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement, however we also include an extended example of our methods applied to the $k$-equal arrangements of type-$A$ and type-$B$. In these cases, we obtain new formulas for the Betti numbers.

L'arrangement $k$-parabolique, introduit par Barcelo, Severs et White, est une généralisation des arrangements, $k$-éguax de type $A$ et de type $B$. Dans cet article, nous utilisons la théorie de Morse discrète proposée par Forman pour étudier l'homologie des compléments d'arrangements $k$-paraboliques. Ce faisant, nous retrouvons les résultats connus de Bjorner et al. mais aussi nous fournissons une interprétation combinatoire des nombres de Betti pour des arrangements $k$-paraboliques. Ce papier fournit alors des résultats pour n'importe quel arrangement $k$-parabolique, cependant nous y présentons un exemple étendu de nos méthodes appliquées aux arrangements $k$-éguax de type $A$ et de type $B$. Pour ce cas, on obtient de nouvelles formules pour les nombres de Betti.
