A residue formula for integrals with hyperplane singularities

8 Main results

8.1 Proposition 1

Proposition 37 Open Bruhat cell \(=\) nonvanishing minors
#

The open Bruhat cell equals the set of matrices with nonvanishing leading principal minors. Equivalently, the values \(z_1^*,\ldots ,z_r^*\) are soluble if and only if all leading principal minors are nonzero.

Proof

By definition of the open Bruhat cell.

8.2 The residue formula

Theorem 38 Intermediate residue formula

Under convergence hypotheses, the integral equals \((2\pi i)^n\) times the sum of flag residues over arising selections.

Proof

Rewrite the integrand via ofRealForm, apply UHP-filtered expansion, and translate via the arising equivalence.

Theorem 39 Arising sum equals stable sum

On the generic locus (for every selection whose coefficient matrix is invertible, the spectator product is nonzero), the sum of flag residues over arising selections equals the sum over \(\Pi \)-stable selections. Selections with singular coefficient matrix are inert: no ordering of them arises or is \(\Pi \)-stable.

Proof

Apply the cancellation identity \(\chi = \) stable sum, after identifying the arising signed sum with \(\chi \) via Cramer’s rule.

Theorem 40 Main Theorem: Residue formula for \(\Pi \)-stable selections

Let \(s_j\) have positive real part. Under the convergence hypothesis and on the generic locus (for every selection whose coefficient matrix is invertible, the spectator product is nonzero),

\[ \int _{\mathbb {R}^n} \frac{h(x)}{\prod _{j=1}^R (f_j(x) - s_j\, i)}\, dx = (2\pi i)^n \sum _{\sigma \in \Pi \text{-stable}} \mathrm{flagResidue}(\sigma ). \]

The sum runs only over \(\Pi \)-stable selections.

Proof

Combine the intermediate residue formula with the equality of the arising and stable sums (the cancellation argument).
