In this paper, we provide generating functions and counting formulas for spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs in two different ways: (1) We represent spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Zeon algebra and hyper-Hafnians (orders and signs are not considered); (2) We establish a Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Spanning Forest Theorem through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Grassmann algebra (orders and signs are considered), which generalizes the Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Theorem by Abdesselam (2004) [1] and Pfaffian matrix tree theorem by Masbaum and Vaintrob (2002) [15]. • We provide generating functions and counting formulas for spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Zeon algebra and hyper- Hafnians when orders and signs are not considered. • We establish a Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Spanning Forest Theorem through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Grassmann algebra (orders and signs are considered), which generalizes the Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Theorem by Abdesselam [Advances in Applied Mathematics (2004) Vol. 33: 51-70] and Pfaffian matrix tree theorem by Masbaum and Vaintrob [Internat. Math. Res. Notices (2002) Vol. 27: 1397-1426]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ish arrangement was introduced by Armstrong to give a new interpretation of the q , t -Catalan numbers of Garsia and Haiman. Armstrong and Rhoades showed that there are some striking similarities between the Shi arrangement and the Ish arrangement and posed some problems. One of them is whether the Ish arrangement is a free arrangement or not. In this paper, we verify that the Ish arrangement is supersolvable and hence free. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the deleted Ish arrangement to be free. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
