| contents | We define and study the magnitude and magnitude homology of a real hyperplane arrangement by regarding its tope graph as a metric space. We prove several structural results for the magnitude of arrangements, including a symmetry formula, palindromicity of the numerator and denominator, a face decomposition formula, and results on the sign pattern of the magnitude power series. For the magnitude homology of arrangements, we obtain combinatorial formulas for small lengths and show that it detects Boolean arrangements. We also lift the face decomposition formula to a homological decomposition and derive explicit formulas for the diagonal magnitude Betti numbers. Another notable feature is that the magnitude Euler characteristic satisfies a reciprocity theorem analogous to Ehrhart--Macdonald reciprocity. We conclude by presenting several conjectures. In particular, we conjecture that the magnitude homology of an arrangement is torsion-free and is determined by the intersection lattice. |
