Abstract

I present a result according to which the complement of any affine 2-arrangement in ℝd is minimal, that is, it is homotopy equivalent to a cell complex with as many i-cells as its ith Betti number. To this end, we prove that the Björner–Ziegler complement complexes, induced by combinatorial stratifications of any essential 2-arrangement, admit perfect discrete Morse functions. This result extend previous work by Falk, Dimca–Papadima, Hattori, Randell, and Salvetti–Settepanella, among others.
