Abstract

We address the length of perverse sheaves arising as direct images of rank one local systems on complements of hyperplane arrangements. In the case of a cone over an essential line arrangement with at most triple points, we provide combinatorial formulas for these lengths. As by-products, we also obtain in this case combinatorial formulas for the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of rank one local systems on the complement with the same monodromy around the planes.
