Summary: The Ish arrangement was introduced by D. Armstrong [J. Comb. 4, No. 2, 157–190 (2013; Zbl 1275.05061)] to give a new interpretation of the \(q,t\)-Catalan numbers of Garsia and Haiman. D. Armstrong and B. Rhoades [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 364, No. 3, 1509–1528 (2012; Zbl 1238.05271)] 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.
