Abstrak

The construction of the Varchenko matrix for hyperplane arrangements, first introduced by Alexandre Varchenko, extends naturally to oriented matroids. In this paper, we generalize the theorem of Gao and Zhang by proving that the Varchenko matrix of an oriented matroid has a diagonal form if and only if the pseudohyperplane arrangement corresponding to the oriented matroid is in semigeneral position, i.e. it does not contain a degeneracy. Furthermore, we show that the Varchenko matrix of a pseudoline arrangement has a block diagonal form. This also provides an alternative combinatorial proof for the Varchenko matrix determinant formula in dimension two.
