holonomy -- compute the holonomy Lie algebra associated to an arrangement or matroid

Synopsis

Description

Two lists in the union of $x$ and $y$ have at most one element in common and the sets in $x$ are disjoint. All sets in $x$ have length at least 2 and all sets in $y$ have length at least 3. In the case of a single argument $y$, there is a unique simple matroid of rank at most 3 such that $y$ is the set of all 2-flats of size at least 3. In some cases this matroid may be realized as the matroid of a central arrangement of hyperplanes. The output holonomy(y) is the holonomy Lie algebra of this matroid (or arrangement). In the geometric language, the case with two arguments $x$ and $y$ corresponds to the deconing process of a central hyperplane arrangement, see Holonomy Lie algebras and symmetries, yielding an affine hyperplane arrangement. The set $x$ consists of the maximal sets of parallel hyperplanes of size at least 2, and $y$ is the set of all maximal sets of hyperplanes of size at least 3 that intersect in an affine space of codimension 2. The output holonomy(x,y)is the holonomy Lie algebra of the affine arrangement, which is the same in degrees at least 2 as holonomy(z) where $z$ is obtained by choosing a new variable and adding it to all sets in $x$ and then taking the union with $y$.
