For an arrangement of linear subspaces in RI that is invariant under a finite subgroup of the general linear group Gin(IR) we develop a formula for the G-module structure of the cohomology of the complement M.A. Our formula specializes to the well known Goresky-MacPherson theorem in case G = 1, but for G $& 1 the formula shows that the G-module structure of the complement is not a combinatorial invariant. As an application we are able to describe the free part of the cohomology of the quotient space MA4IG. Our motivating examples are arrangements in Cn that are invariant under the action of Sn by permuting coordinates. A particular case is the "k-equal" arrangement, first studied by Bj6rner, Lovasz, and Yao motivated by questions in complexity theory. In these cases MA4 and MA/Sn are spaces of ordered and unordered point configurations in Cn many of whose properties are reduced by our formulas to combinatorial questions in partition lattices. More generally, we treat point configurations in Rd and provide explicit results for the "k-equal" and the "k-divisible" cases.
