Abstract
Varchenko introduced a distance function on chambers of hyperplane arrangements that he called quantum bilinear form. That gave rise to a determinant indexed by chambers whose entry in position (C, D) is the distance between C and D: that is the Varchenko determinant. He showed that that determinant has a nice factorization. Later, Aguiar and Mahajan defined a generalization of the quantum bilinear form, and computed the Varchenko determinant given rise by that generalization for central hyperplane arrangements and their cones. This article takes inspiration from their proof strategy to compute the Varchenko determinant given rise by their distance function for apartment of hyperplane arrangements. Those latter are in fact realizable conditional oriented matroids.
