These lecture notes survey and compare various compactifications of complex hyperplane arrangement complements. In particular, we review the Gelfand-MacPherson construction, Kapranov’s visible contours compactification, and De Concini and Procesi’s wonderful compactification. We explain how these constructions are unified by some ideas from the modern origins of tropical geometry.
Dans ces notes, nous passons en revue puis comparons diverses compactifications d’un complément d’un arrangement d’hyperplans complexes. En particulier, nous examinons la construction de Gelfand-MacPherson, la compactification des contours visibles de Kapranov, et la compactification merveilleuse de De Concini et Procesi. Nous expliquons comment ces constructions sont unifiées par quelques idées provenant des origines modernes de la géométrie tropicale.
