Newark, New jersey. It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

    THE ALGEBRA OF DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS TANGENT TO A HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENT MARIANO SUAREZ-´ ALVAREZ´ Let us fix a ground field |, once and for all, and a vector space V of positive dimension `, and let S be the graded algebra of polynomial functions on V . Let A be a central hyperplane arrangement in V , that is, a set of subspaces H1,..., Hr ∗ of V of codimension 1, and for each i 2 f1; : : : ; `g let αi 2 V be a linear form on V such that Hi = ker αi. The product Q = α1 ··· αr 2 S, which we call a defining Sr polynomial of the arrangement, has zero locus equal to the union N(A) = i=1 Hi of the hyperplanes of A and depends, up to a non-zero scalar, only on the arrangement. We write Der(S) the Lie algebra of all derivations of S endowed with its usual structure of a graded left S-module and for each ideal I ⊆ S we consider the set Der(I) = fδ 2 Der(S): δ(I) ⊆ Ig, which is both a Lie subalgebra and a graded S-submodule of Der(S). The Lie algebra Der(A) of derivations tangent to A is Der(QS) and the arrangement is free if Der(A) is a free graded S-module. This notion was introduced in the context of the study of logarithmic vector fields related to a hypersurface of a smooth complex analytic manifold by Kyoji Saito in [6]. We do not know what exactly makes an arrangement free and it is not a generic property, but we have plenty of evidence that freeness is both important and useful, and it shows up in many contexts.

Then W acts naturally on the set of chambers of B. We assume that B is disjoint from the Coxeter arrangement A = A(W ) of W . In this paper, we show that the W -orbits of the set of chambers of B are in one-to- one correspondence with the chambers of C = A[B which are contained in an arbitrarily fixed chamber of A.
