contents We introduce a new topological invariant of complex line arrangements in the complex projective plane, derived from the interaction between their complement and the boundary of a regular neighbourhood. The motivation is to identify Zariski pairs which have the same combinatorics but different embeddings. Building on ideas developed by B. Guerville-Ballé and W. Cadiegan-Schlieper, we consider the inclusion map of the boundary manifold to the exterior and its effect on homology classes. A careful study of the graph Waldhausen structure of the boundary manifold allows to identify specific generators of the homology. Their potential images are encoded in a group, the graph stabiliser, with a nice combinatorial presentation. The invariant related to the inclusion map is an element of this group. Using a computer implementation in Sage, we compute the invariant for some examples and exhibit new Zariski pairs.
