Reflection Groups Acting on Their Hyperplanes
نویسنده
چکیده
After having established elementary results on the relationship between a finite complex (pseudo-)reflection group W ⊂ GL(V ) and its reflection arrangement A, we prove that the action of W on A is canonically related with other natural representations of W , through a ‘periodic’ family of representations of its braid group. We also prove that, when W is irreducible, then the squares of defining linear forms for A span the quadratic forms on V , which imply |A| ≥ n(n + 1)/2 for n = dimV , and relate the W -equivariance of the corresponding map with the period of our family.

Factorizations of Coxeter Elements in Complex Reflection Groups
In [CS12], Chapuy and Stump studied factorizations of Coxeter elements into products of reflections in well-generated, irreducible complex reflection groups, giving a simple closed form expression for their exponential generating function depending on certain natural parameters. In this work, their methods are used to consider a more general multivariate generating function FACW (u1, . . . , u`...

The volume product of convex bodies with many hyperplane symmetries
Mahler’s conjecture predicts a sharp lower bound on the volume of the polar of a convex body in terms of its volume. We confirm the conjecture for convex bodies with many hyperplane symmetries in the following sense: their hyperplanes of symmetries have a one-point intersection. Moreover, we obtain improved sharp lower bounds for classes of convex bodies which are invariant by certain reflectio...
متن کاملA Refined Count of Coxeter Element Reflection Factorizations
For well-generated complex reflection groups, Chapuy and Stump gave a simple product for a generating function counting reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element by their length. This is refined here to record the number of reflections used from each orbit of hyperplanes. The proof is case-by-case via the classification of well-generated groups. It implies a new expression for the Coxeter ...
متن کاملBases for certain cohomology representations of the symmetric group
We give a combinatorial description (including explicit differential-form bases) for the cohomology groups of the space of n distinct nonzero complex numbers, with coefficients in rank-one local systems which are of finite monodromy around the coordinate hyperplanes and trivial monodromy around all other hyperplanes. In the case where the local system is equivariant for the symmetric group, we ...
