Abstract

For each element X of codimension two of the intersection lattice of a hyperplane arrangement we define a differential logarithmic 1-forms ohgr X with poles along the arrangement. Then we describe the class of arrangements for which forms ohgr X generate the whole module of the logarithmic 1-forms with poles along the arrangement. The description is done in terms of linear relations among the functionals defining the hyperplanes. We construct a minimal free resolution of the module generated by ohgr X that in particular defines the projective dimension of this module. In order to study relations among ohgr X we construct free resolutions of certain ideals of a polynomial ring generated by products of linear forms. We give examples and discuss possible generalizations of the results.
