We study geometric structures on the complement of a toric mirror arrangement associated with a root system. Inspired by those root system hypergeometric functions found by Heckman–Opdam, and in view of the work of Couwenberg–Heckman–Looijenga on the geometric structures on projective arrangement complements, we consider a family of connections on a total space, namely, a $${\mathbb {C}}^{\times }$$ C × -bundle on the complement of a toric mirror arrangement (=finite union of hypertori, determined by a root system). We prove that these connections are torsion free and flat, and hence define a family of affine structures on the total space, which is equivalent to a family of projective structures on the toric arrangement complement. We then determine a parameter region for which the projective structure admits a locally complex hyperbolic metric. In the end, we show that the space in question can be biholomorphically mapped onto a divisor complement of a ball quotient if the Schwarz conditions are invoked.
