Abstract:
We present a combinatorial analysis of fiber bundles of generalized configuration spaces on connected abelian Lie groups and discuss topological consequences. These bundles are akin to those of Fadell-Neuwirth for configuration spaces, and their existence is detected by a combinatorial property of an associated finite partially ordered set. Of particular focus is the case of a toric arrangement: a finite collection of codimension-one subtori in a complex torus. If the intersection pattern of the subtori satisfies the combinatorial condition of supersolvability, the complement of the toric arrangement sits atop a tower of fiber bundles. This structure provides insight into topological invariants of these toric arrangement complements, including the homotopy groups, cohomology, and topological complexity. Based on joint work with Daniel C. Cohen and Emanuele Delucchi.
