Abstract

A hyperplane arrangement in Pn is free if R/J is Cohen-Macaulay (CM), where R = k[x0, . . . , xn] and J is the Jacobian ideal. We study the CM-ness of two related unmixed ideals: Jun, the intersection of height two primary components, and √ J, the radical. Under a mild hypothesis, we show these ideals are CM. Suppose the hypothesis fails. For equidimensional curves in P3, the Hartshorne-Rao module measures the failure of CMness and determines the even liaison class of the curve. We show that for any positive integer r, there is an arrangement for which R/Jun (resp. R/ √ J) fails to be CM in only one degree, and this failure is by r. We draw consequences for the even liaison class of Jun or √ J.
