The resonance formula for the linear strand of an arrangement's Orlik-Solomon algebra

Let A{\mathcal A} be a complex hyperplane arrangement, let A=H(X(A),k)A=H^*(X({\mathcal A}),\Bbbk) be its Orlik-Solomon algebra over a field of characteristic 00, and let EE be the exterior algebra on the degree-one generators of AA. Write

βi,j=dimkToriE(A,k)j\beta_{i,j}=\dim_{\Bbbk}\operatorname{Tor}^{E}_{i}(A,\Bbbk)_j

and let hrh_r be the number of rr-dimensional components of the projective first resonance variety R1(A){\mathcal R}^{1}({\mathcal A}). Resonance formula for the linear strand. For k0k\gg 0, the graded Betti numbers in the linear strand satisfy

βk1,k=(k1)r1hr(r+k1k).\beta_{k-1,k}=(k-1)\sum_{r\geq 1}h_r\binom{r+k-1}{k}.

This was presented as a pattern suggested by examples; a purely combinatorial formula for these linear-strand Betti numbers was unknown in the stated generality.
