Bordifications of hyperplane arrangements and their curve complexes
Bordifications of hyperplane arrangements and their curve complexes
The complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes in $\mathbb C^n$ has a natural bordification to a manifold with corners formed by removing (or "blowing up") tubular neighborhoods of the hyperplanes and certain of their intersections. When the arrangement is the complexification of a real simplicial arrangement, the bordification closely resembles …
