Let K be a field and let V be a vector space of dimension 1 over K. A hyperplane in V is a vector subspace of codimension 1. An arrangement d in V is a finite set of hyperplanes. Let L (d) be the collection of all intersections of elements of d. We partially order L (d) by the reverse of inclusion, so that X< Y means Xz Y. Then L (d) is a geometric lattice, called the intersection lattice of d, which has V as its minimal element. Let p be the Mobius function [14, p. 3421 of L (d). The characteristic polynomial x (s?; t) of d is defined by x (&d; t)= cp (v, X) tdim Y(1.1). xEL (. d)If n HE. d H={0}, then x (& ‘; t) is the characteristic polynomial [9, p. 1281 of L (d). In [11] Terao showed that if d is a free arrangement then the characteristic polynomial factors in Z [t] as a product of linear factors. Its non-negative integer roots are the degrees of certain derivations of K [xi,..., x,]. In this paper we introduce a family of graded modules Dp (&), p 20, and show that the characteristic polynomial of any arrangement may be computed in terms of the Poincare series of the modules Dp (&). Our main result is Theorem (1.2). In case d is a free
