 Critical Points and Resonance of Hyperplane Arrangements If $\Phi_\lambda$ is a master function corresponding to a hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal A$ and a collection of weights $\lambda$, we investigate the relationship between the critical set of $\Phi_\lambda$, the variety defined by the vanishing of the one-form $\omega_\lambda=\operatorname{d} \log \Phi_\lambda$, and the resonance of $\lambda$. For arrangements satisfying certain conditions, we show that if $\lambda$ is resonant in dimension $p$, then the critical set of $\Phi_\lambda$ has codimension at most $p$. These include all free arrangements and all rank $3$ arrangements. Keywords:hyperplane arrangement, master function, resonant weights, critical setCategories:32S22, 55N25, 52C35

 Approximating Flats by Periodic Flats in \\CAT(0) Square Complexes We investigate the problem of whether every immersed flat plane in a nonpositively curved square complex is the limit of periodic flat planes. Using a branched cover, we reduce the problem to the case of $\V$-complexes. We solve the problem for malnormal and cyclonormal $\V$-complexes. We also solve the problem for complete square complexes using a different approach. We give an application towards deciding whether the elements of fundamental groups of the spaces we study have commuting powers. We note a connection between the flat approximation problem and subgroup separability. Keywords:CAT(0), periodic flat planesCategories:20F67, 20F06

 An Algorithm for Fat Points on $\mathbf{P}^2 Let$F$be a divisor on the blow-up$X$of$\pr^2$at$r$general points$p_1, \dots, p_r$and let$L$be the total transform of a line on$\pr^2$. An approach is presented for reducing the computation of the dimension of the cokernel of the natural map$\mu_F \colon \Gamma \bigl( \CO_X(F) \bigr) \otimes \Gamma \bigl( \CO_X(L) \bigr) \to \Gamma \bigl( \CO_X(F) \otimes \CO_X(L) \bigr)$to the case that$F$is ample. As an application, a formula for the dimension of the cokernel of$\mu_F$is obtained when$r = 7$, completely solving the problem of determining the modules in minimal free resolutions of fat point subschemes\break$m_1 p_1 + \cdots + m_7 p_7 \subset \pr^2$. All results hold for an arbitrary algebraically closed ground field~$k\$. Keywords:Generators, syzygies, resolution, fat points, maximal rank, plane, Weyl groupCategories:13P10, 14C99, 13D02, 13H15
