Group Law

International audience If $f(x)$ is an invertible power series we may form the symmetric function $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ which is called a formal group law. We give a number of examples of power series $f(x)$ that are ordinary generating functions for combinatorial objects with a recursive structure, each of which is associated with a certain hypergraph. In each case, we show that the corresponding formal group law is the sum of the chromatic symmetric functions of these hypergraphs by finding a combinatorial interpretation for $f^{-1}(x)$. We conjecture that the chromatic symmetric functions arising in this way are Schur-positive. Si $f(x)$ est une série entière inversible, nous pouvons former la fonction symétrique $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ que nous appelons une loi de groupe formel. Nous donnons plusieurs exemples de séries entières $f(x)$ qui sont séries génératrices ordinaires pour des objets combinatoires avec une structure récursive, chacune desquelles est associée à un certain hypergraphe. Dans chaque cas, nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire à $f^{-1}(x)$, ce qui nous permet de montrer que la loi de groupe formel correspondante est la somme des fonctions symétriques chromatiques de ces hypergraphes. Nous conjecturons que les fonctions symétriques chromatiques apparaissant de cette manière sont Schur-positives.

AbstractFontaine described the category of formal groups over the ring of Witt vectors over a finite field of characteristic p with the aid of triples consisting of the module of logarithms, the Dieudonné module, and the morphism from the former to the latter. We propose an explicit construction for the kernels in this category in term of Fontaine's triples. The construction is applied to the formal norm homomorphism in the case of an unramified extension of ℚp and of a totally ramiûed extension of degree less or equal than p. A similar consideration applied to a global extension allows us to establish the existence of a strict isomorphism between the formal norm torus and a formal group law coming from L-series.

The object of this paper is to prove that for a finite abelian group G the natural map is injective, where Â(G) is the completion of the Burnside ring of G and σ0(BG) is the stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG of G. The map â is detected by means of an M U* exponential characteristic class for permutation representations constructed in (11). The result is a generalization of a theorem of Laitinen (4) which treats elementary abelian groups using ordinary cohomology. One interesting feature of the present proof is that it makes explicit use of the universality of the formal group law of M U*. It also involves a computation of M U*(BG) in terms of the formal group law. This may be of independent interest. Since writing the paper the author has discovered that M U*(BG) has previously been calculated by Land-weber(5).

AbstractA sequence of ideals Ik,n ⊆ BP* is introduced, with the property: Ik,n ⊆ Ann(γk,n), where γk,n is the toral class of the Brown-Peterson homology of the n-fold product BZ/pk × ··· × BZ/pk. These ideals seem to play an interesting and yet unclear role in understanding Ann(γk,n). They are defined by using the formal group law of the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP, and some of their elementary properties are established. By using classical theorems of Landweber and of Ravenel-Wilson, the author computes the radicals of Ik,n and Ann(γk,n), and discusses a few examples.

International audience An important combinatorial result in equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory Schubert calculus is represented by the formulas of Billey and Graham-Willems for the localization of Schubert classes at torus fixed points. These formulas work uniformly in all Lie types, and are based on the concept of a root polynomial. We define formal root polynomials associated with an arbitrary formal group law (and thus a generalized cohomology theory). We usethese polynomials to simplify the approach of Billey and Graham-Willems, as well as to generalize it to connective $K$-theory and elliptic cohomology. Another result is concerned with defining a Schubert basis in elliptic cohomology (i.e., classes independent of a reduced word), using the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of the corresponding Hecke algebra. Un résultat combinatoire important dans le calcul de Schubert pour la cohomologie et la $K$-théorie équivariante est représenté par les formules de Billey et Graham-Willems pour la localisation des classes de Schubert aux points fixes du tore. Ces formules sont uniformes pour tous les types de Lie, et sont basés sur le concept d’un polynôme de racines. Nous définissons les polynômes formels de racines associées à une loi arbitraire de groupe formel (et donc à une théorie de cohomologie généralisée). Nous utilisons ces polynômes pour simplifier les preuves de Billey et Graham-Willems, et aussi pour généraliser leurs résultats à la $K$-théorie connective et la cohomologie elliptique. Un autre résultat concerne la définition d’une base de Schubert dans cohomologie elliptique (c’est à dire, des classes indépendantes d’un mot réduit), en utilisant la base de Kazhdan-Lusztig de l’algèbre de Hecke correspondant.

International audience In 2003, Haglund's bounce statistic gave the first combinatorial interpretation of the q,t-Catalan numbers and the Hilbert series of diagonal harmonics. In this paper we propose a new combinatorial interpretation in terms of the affine Weyl group of type A. In particular, we define two statistics on affine permutations; one in terms of the Shi hyperplane arrangement, and one in terms of a new arrangement — which we call the Ish arrangement. We prove that our statistics are equivalent to the area' and bounce statistics of Haglund and Loehr. In this setting, we observe that bounce is naturally expressed as a statistic on the root lattice. We extend our statistics in two directions: to "extended'' Shi arrangements and to the bounded chambers of these arrangements. This leads to a (conjectural) combinatorial interpretation for all integral powers of the Bergeron-Garsia nabla operator applied to elementary symmetric functions. En 2003, la statistique bounce de Haglund a donné la première interprétation combinatoire de la somme des nombres q,t-Catalan et de la série de Hilbert des harmoniques diagonaux. Dans cet article nous proposons une nouvelle interprétation combinatoire à partir du groupe de Weyl affine de type A. En particulier, nous définissons deux statistiques sur les permutations affines; l'une à partir de l'arrangement d'hyperplans Shi, et l'autre à partir d'un nouvel arrangement — que nous appelons l'arrangement Ish. Nous prouvons que nos statistiques sont équivalentes aux statistiques area' et bounce de Haglund et Loehr. Dans ce contexte, nous observons que bounce s'exprime naturellement comme une statistique sur le réseau des racines. Nous prolongeons nos statistiques dans deux directions: arrangements Shi "étendus'', et chambres bornées associées. Cela conduit à une interprétation (conjecturale) combinatoire pour toutes les puissances entières de l'opérateur nabla de Bergeron-Garsia appliqué aux fonctions symétriques élémentaires.

International audience The Selberg integral is an important integral first evaluated by Selberg in 1944. Stanley found a combinatorial interpretation of the Selberg integral in terms of permutations. In this paper, new combinatorial objects "Young books'' are introduced and shown to have a connection with the Selberg integral. This connection gives an enumeration formula for Young books. It is shown that special cases of Young books become standard Young tableaux of various shapes: shifted staircases, squares, certain skew shapes, and certain truncated shapes. As a consequence, enumeration formulas for standard Young tableaux of these shapes are obtained. L’intégrale de Selberg est une partie intégrante importante abord évaluée par Selberg en 1944. Stanley a trouvé une interprétation combinatoire de la Selberg aide en permutations. Dans ce papier, de nouveaux objets combinatoires “livres de Young” sont introduits et présentés à avoir un lien avec l’intégrale de Selberg. Cette connexion donne une formule d'énumération pour les livres de Young. Il est démontré que des cas spéciaux de livres de Young deviennent tableaux standards de Young de formes diverses: escaliers décalés, places, certaines formes gauches et certaines formes tronquées. En conséquence, l’énumération des formules pour tableaux standards de Young de ces formes sont obtenues.

AbstractWe study υ0- and υ1-divisibility properties of the [2e]-series associated to the universal 2-typical formal group law. This allows us to identify elements annihilating the toral class τ in BP*(2e × 2e). We conjecture that these elements form a minimal system of generators of the annihilator ideal of τ. This would provide a Landweber-type presentation for the BP-homology of 2e × 2e from which the relation hom:dimBP (Z2e × Z2e) = 2 would be an easy consequence.
