Periodicity of Non-Central Integral Arrangements Modulo Positive Integers

An integral coefficient matrix determines an integral arrangement of hyperplanes in \mathbbR^m{\mathbb{R}^m} . After modulo q reduction ${(q \in {\mathbb{Z}_{ >0 }})}${(q \in {\mathbb{Z}_{ >0 }})} , the same matrix determines an arrangement A_q{\mathcal{A}_q} of “hyperplanes” in \mathbbZ^m_q{\mathbb{Z}^m_q} . In the special case of central arrangements, Kamiya, Takemura, and Terao J. Algebraic Combin. 27(3), 317–330 (2008)] showed that the cardinality of the complement of A_q{\mathcal{A}_q} in \mathbbZ^m_q{\mathbb{Z}^m_q} is a quasi-polynomial in ${q \in {\mathbb{Z}_{ >0 }}}${q \in {\mathbb{Z}_{ >0 }}} . Moreover, they proved in the central case that the intersection lattice of A_q{\mathcal{A}_q} is periodic from some q on. The present paper generalizes these results to the case of non-central arrangements. The paper also studies the arrangement ^(B)]_m^0,a]{\hat{\mathcal{B}}_m^{0,a]}} of Athanasiadis J. Algebraic Combin. 10(3), 207–225 (1999)] to illustrate our results.
