Abstract
Given a hyperplane arrangement of some type in a projective space, the Dunkl system, developed by Couwenberg, Heckman and Looijenga, is used to study the geometric structures on its complement, and as a consequence it leads to the discovery of new ball quotients when the so-called Schwarz conditions are imposed. In this talk, I will show that the space, investigated in this system, is still of a particular type of structure, namely, the structure of a cone-manifold, when there are no Schwarz conditions imposed. I will illustrate this theory by discussing the one-dimensional example, which originates from the classical hypergeometric system.
