| contents | Let $\mathcal A$ be a hyperplane arrangement in a vector space $V$ and $G \leq GL(V)$ a group fixing $\mathcal A$. In case when $G$ is a complex reflection group and $\mathcal A=\mathcal A(G)$ is its reflection arrangement in $V$, Douglass, Pfeiffer, and Röhrle studied the invariants of the $Q G$-module $H^*(M(\mathcal A);Q)$, the rational, singular cohomology of the complement space $M(\mathcal A)$ in $V$. In this paper we generalize the work in Douglass, Pfeiffer, and Röhrle to the case of quaternionic reflection groups. We obtain a straightforward generalization of the Hilbert--Poincaré series of the ring of invariants in the cohomology from the complex case when the quaternionic reflection group is complex-reducible according to Cohen's classification. Surprisingly, only one additional family of new types of Poincaré polynomials occurs in the quaternionic setting which is not realised in the complex case, namely those of a particular class of imprimitive irreducible quaternionic reflection groups. Finally, we discuss bases of the space of $G$-invariants in $H^*(M(\mathcal A);Q)$. |
