Gaiffi, Giovanni
Models for real subspace arrangements and stratified manifolds.
(English)
[J] Int. Math. Res. Not. 2003, No. 12, 627-656 (2003). ISSN 1073-7928; ISSN 1687-0247/e

Consider a central plane arrangement in a vector space and let $M$ denote its complement. In the first part of the paper, the author constructs certain compactifications of $M/\Bbb{R}^+$ by embedding it in products of spheres. He shows that these compactifications are manifolds with corners and describes their boundaries. In the second part of the paper, the author describes a generalization of the previous procedure in terms of a sequence of blowups of stratified manifolds along strata.\par This part of the paper is a real version of a procedure described in [{\it R. MacPherson} and {\it C. Procesi}, Sel. Math., New Ser. 4, No. 1, 125--139 (1998; Zbl 0934.32014)].
