Title: Around free arrangements and Solomon-Terao algebras
Abstract: If we delete one hyperplane from a free arrangement, then that deleted one is either free or plus-one generated. The latter means that its logarithmic derivation module is generated by dimension plus one number of derivations with one relations, so its projective dimension is one. We study this ``around free arrangements'' problem further, and discuss the relation with singularities and Solomon-Terao algebras of them.

Title: Modular approach on hyperplane arrangements
Abstract: The idea of applying modular techniques on hyperplane arrangements started by looking at the class of free arrangements. Specifically, we investigated the relations between freeness over a field of finite characteristic and freeness over $\mathbb{Q}$. This led us to study the combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements over arbitrary fields. In particular, we determined in which situation an arrangement and its reduction modulo a prime number have isomorphic lattices. This is a joint work with M. Torielli.

Title: On the exponents of restrictions of Weyl arrangements

Title: Associated primes and localization of hyperplane arrangements
Abstract: We will first recall the basic properties of free and plus-one generated arrangement. Then, we will describe the associated prime ideals of the Jacobian ideal of a free or plus-one generated arrangement. Moreover, we will describe how to prove that the localization of a plus-one generated arrangement is free or plus-one generated. We will conclude the talk with some open problems and ideas for future work. This is part of a work in progress with Elisa Palezzato.

Title: Eulerian polynomials for subarrangements of Weyl arrangements
Abstract: Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Weyl arrangement. We introduce and study the notion of $\mathcal{A}$-Eulerian polynomial producing an Eulerian-like polynomial for any subarrangement of $\mathcal{A}$. This polynomial together with shift operators describe how the characteristic quasi-polynomial of a subarrangement can be expressed in terms of the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of the fundamental alcove. It in turn generalizes two well-known formulas in the literature: the first one relates the characteristic polynomial of $\mathcal{A}$ to Ehrhart theory due to Athanasiadis (1996), Blass-Sagan (1998), Suter (1998) and Kamiya-Takemura-Terao (2010); the second one relates the number of lattice points in the fundamental parallelepiped to the Lam-Postnikov's Eulerian polynomial due to Yoshinaga (2018). We will also discuss some ongoing problems related to the $\mathcal{A}$-Eulerian polynomials via algebraic and topological aspects. This talk is based on a recent work in progress with Ahmed Umer Ashraf (Western) and Masahiko Yoshinaga (Hokkaido).

Title: Modular construction of free arrangements
Abstract: Stanley proved that a graphic arrangement is free if and only if the graph is chordal. Dirac showed that a graph is chordal if and only if the graph is obtained by ``gluing" complete graphs. In this talk, we formulate ``gluing" operation in terms of simple matroids and show that every arrangement obtained by the operation is divisionally free.

Title: Icosidodecahedron and Milnor fiber of arrangements
Abstract: In the first part, I will recall Papadima-Suciu's framework for understanding the monodromy eigenspace of the Milnor fiber cohomology in terms of Aomoto complex with finite field coefficients. Then we show that the icosidodecahedral arrangement (an arrangement of 16 planes associated with the icosidodecahedron) provides a counterexample to a part of Papadima-Suciu's conjecture. The icosidodecahedral arrangement also provide the first example whose 1st homology of the Milnor fiber has a torsion. This talk is based on arXiv:1902.06256.
