We expand the theory of weighted sheaves over posets, and use it to study
the local homology of Artin groups. First, we use such theory to relate the
homology of classical braid groups with the homology of certain independence
complexes of graphs. Then, in the context of discrete Morse theory on
weighted sheaves, we introduce a particular class of acyclic matchings.
Explicit formulas for the homology of the corresponding Morse complexes
are given, in terms of the ranks of the associated incidence matrices. We
use such method to perform explicit computations for the new affine case
, as well as for
the cases
,
and
(which were already done before by different methods).
