Fundamental groups of arrangements, II

Henry Schenck of Texas A&M University

I'll quickly review the presentation for the fundamental group of an arrangement complement and the associated holonomy Lie algebra. Then I'll discuss how to pass to a related problem involving the exterior and symmetric algebras, and the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand correspondence.
