In [6], we proved a factorization theorem for the Poincar polynomial of the complement of hyperplnes in an /-dimensional vector space over the complex number field C when the arrangement of the hyperplanes is free. That was called Shephard-Todd-Brieskorn theorem there. Our main aim here is to report generalized fa.ctoriza.tion theorem tor ree rrangement over a.n a.rbitrary field. The detailed proof will appear in [3]. 1o Let A be an arrangement in an/-dimensional vector spce V over a field K. In other words, A is finite fa.mily of (/-1)-dimensional vector subspaces o.f V. Denote the dual vector space of V by V*. Let S-S(V*) be the symmetric algebra of V*. Fix a ba.se {x, ..., x} for V*, and S is isomorphic to. the polynomial algebra, K[x, ..., x]. Let Q e S be a reduced defining equation for [_Jne H. Then Q is a product of elements o.f V*. The derivation o.f S is a K-. linear map t" S-S satisfying ]--0 and O(fg)--ft(g)+gt(f) for any f, geS. Definition 1. A derivation along A (which is called a logarithmic vector field [4] when we are in the complex analytic category) is a derivation t of S satisfying o(Q) e Qs. Let D(A) denote the set o.f derivations along A. Then D(A) is naturally an S-module. Definition 2. If D(A) is an S-free module, we say that A is a free arrangement. Definition 3. A derivation 0 o.f S is said to. be homogeneous of degree b if t(x)e S (i--1, ...,/), where S is the vector subspace of S generated by monomials of degree b. We write b=degO. We can show that D(A) has a free base {O, ..., O} consisting of homogeneous derivations if A is a free arrangement. The integers (degO,..., deg Ot) are called the degree of A (called the generalized exponents of A in [6]). They depend only upon A. The following useful criterion, proved by K. Saito [4] when K= C, remains true for arbitrary K"
