Abstract
We use a new method to study arrangement in CP l, define a class of nice point arrangements and show that if two nice point arrangements have the same combinatorics, then their complements are diffeomorphic to each other. In particular, the moduli space of nice point arrangements with same combinatorics in CP l is connected. It generalizes the result on point arrangements in CP 3 to point arrangements in CP l for any l.
