Abstract

The Chen groups of a group G are the lower central series quotients of G/G'', where G'' is the second commutator subgroup. In the case where G is the fundamental group of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement, we relate the ranks of the Chen groups of G to the first resonance variety, an invariant of the cohomology ring of G.
