International audience In this paper, we study k-parabolic arrangements, a generalization of the k-equal arrangement for any finite real reflection group. When k=2, these arrangements correspond to the well-studied Coxeter arrangements. Brieskorn (1971) showed that the fundamental group of the complement of the type W Coxeter arrangement (over $\mathbb{C}$) is isomorphic to the pure Artin group of type W. Khovanov (1996) gave an algebraic description for the fundamental group of the complement of the 3-equal arrangement (over $\mathbb{R}$). We generalize Khovanov's result to obtain an algebraic description of the fundamental group of the complement of the 3-parabolic arrangement for arbitrary finite reflection group. Our description is a real analogue to Brieskorn's description. Nous généralisons les arrangements k-égaux à tous les groupes de réflexions finis réels. Les arrangements ainsi obtenus sont dits k-paraboliques. Dans le cas où k = 2 nous retrouvons les arrangements de Coxeter qui sont bien connus. En 1971, Brieskorn démontra que le groupe fondamental associé au complément (complexe) de l'arrangement de Coxeter de type W est en fait isomorphe au groupe pure d'Artin de type W . En 1996, Khovanov donne une description algébrique du groupe fondamental du complément (réel) de l'arrangement 3-égaux. Nous généralisons le résultat de Khovanov et obtenons une description algébrique du groupe fondamental de l'espace complément d'un arrangement k-parabolique pour tous les groupes de réflexions finis et réels. Il se trouve que notre description est l'analogue réel de la description de Brieskorn.

Noncrossing Partition Lattice

International audience When $W$ is a finite reflection group, the noncrossing partition lattice $NC(W)$ of type $W$ is a very rich combinatorial object, extending the notion of noncrossing partitions of an $n$-gon. A formula (for which the only known proofs are case-by-case) expresses the number of multichains of a given length in $NC(W)$ as a generalized Fuß-Catalan number, depending on the invariant degrees of $W$. We describe how to understand some specifications of this formula in a case-free way, using an interpretation of the chains of $NC(W)$ as fibers of a "Lyashko-Looijenga covering''. This covering is constructed from the geometry of the discriminant hypersurface of $W$. We deduce new enumeration formulas for certain factorizations of a Coxeter element of $W$. Lorsque $W$ est un groupe de réflexion fini, le treillis $NC(W)$ des partitions non-croisées de type $W$ est un objet combinatoire très riche, qui généralise la notion de partitions non-croisées d'un $n$-gone. Une formule (seulement prouvée au cas par cas à l'heure actuelle) exprime le nombre de chaînes de longueur donnée dans $NC(W)$ sous la forme d'un nombre de Fuß-Catalan généralisé, qui dépend des degrés invariants de $W$. Nous décrivons une stratégie visant à comprendre certaines spécifications de cette formule de manière uniforme, en utilisant une interprétation des chaînes de $NC(W)$ comme fibres d'un "revêtement de Lyashko-Looijenga''. Ce revêtement est construit à partir de la géométrie de l'hypersurface du discriminant de $W$. Nous en déduisons de nouvelles formules de comptage pour certaines factorisations d'un élément de Coxeter de $W$.

AbstractLet G be a finite reflection group acting in a complex vector space V = ℂr, whose coordinate ring will be denoted by S. Any element γ ∈ GL(V) which normalises G acts on the ring SG of G-invariants. We attach invariants of the coset Gγ to this action, and show that if G′ is a parabolic subgroup of G, also normalised by γ, the invariants attaching to G′γ are essentially the same as those of Gγ. Four applications are given. First, we give a generalisation of a result of Springer-Stembridge which relates the module structures of the coinvariant algebras of G and G′ and secondly, we give a general criterion for an element of Gγ to be regular (in Springer’s sense) in invariant-theoretic terms, and use it to prove that up to a central element, all reflection cosets contain a regular element. Third, we prove the existence in any well-generated group, of analogues of Coxeter elements of the real reflection groups. Finally, we apply the analysis to quotients of G which are themselves reflection groups.

AbstractFor a real vector space V acted on by a group K and fixed x and y in V, we consider the problem of finding the minimum (respectively, maximum) distance, relative to a K-invariant convex function on V, between x and elements of the convex hull of the K-orbit of y. We solve this problem in the case where V is a Euclidean space and K is a finite reflection group acting on V. Then we use this result to obtain an analogous result in the case where K is a maximal compact subgroup of a reductive group G with adjoint action on the vector component ρ of a Cartan decomposition of Lie G. Our results generalize results of Li and Tsing and of Cheng concerning distances to the convex hulls of matrix orbits.

The Dunkl transform ${\mathcal{F}}_{k}$ is a generalisation of the usual Fourier transform to an integral transform invariant under a finite reflection group. The goal of this paper is to prove a strong uncertainty principle for orthonormal bases in the Dunkl setting which states that the product of generalised dispersions cannot be bounded for an orthonormal basis. Moreover, we obtain a quantitative version of Shapiro’s uncertainty principle on the time–frequency concentration of orthonormal sequences and show, in particular, that if the elements of an orthonormal sequence and their Dunkl transforms have uniformly bounded dispersions then the sequence is finite.

Invariant Cubature Formulas

Abstract In 1960, Sobolev proved that for a finite reflection group G, a G-invariant cubature formula is of degree t if and only if it is exact for all G-invariant polynomials of degree at most t . In this paper, we make some observations on invariant cubature formulas and Euclidean designs in connection with the Sobolev theorem. First, we give an alternative proof of theorems by Xu (1998) on necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of cubature formulas with some strong symmetry. The new proof is shorter and simpler compared to the original one by Xu, and, moreover, gives a general interpretation of the analytically-written conditions of Xu's theorems. Second, we extend a theorem by Neumaier and Seidel (1988) on Euclidean designs to invariant Euclidean designs, and thereby classify tight Euclidean designs obtained from unions of the orbits of the corner vectors. This result generalizes a theorem of Bajnok (2007), which classifies tight Euclidean designs invariant under the Weyl group of type B, to other finite reflection groups.

International audience Let $W$ be a finite crystallographic reflection group, with root system $\Phi$. Associated to $W$ there is a positive integer, the generalized Catalan number, which counts the clusters in the associated cluster algebra, the noncrossing partitions for $W$, and several other interesting sets. Bijections have been found between the clusters and the noncrossing partitions by Reading and Athanasiadis et al. There is a further generalization of the generalized Catalan number, sometimes called the Fuss-Catalan number for $W$, which we will denote $C_m(W)$. Here $m$ is a positive integer, and $C_1(W)$ is the usual generalized Catalan number. $C_m(W)$ counts the $m$-noncrossing partitions for $W$ and the $m$-clusters for $\Phi$. In this abstract, we will give an explicit description of a bijection between these two sets. The proof depends on a representation-theoretic reinterpretation of the problem, in terms of exceptional sequences of representations of quivers. Soit $W$ un groupe de réflexions fini et cristallographique, avec système de racines $\Phi$. Associé à $W$, il y a un entier positif, le nombre de Catalan généralisé, qui compte les amas dans l'algèbre amassée associée, les partitions non-croisées de $W$, et plusieurs autres ensembles intéressantes. Des bijections entre les amas et les partitions non-croisées ont été données par Reading et Athanasiadis et al. On peut encore généraliser le nombre de Catalan généralisé, obtenant le nombre Fuss-Catalan de $W$, que nous noterons $C_m(W)$. Ici $m$ est un entier positif, et $C_1(W)$ est le nombre Catalan généralisé standard. $C_m(W)$ compte les partitions $m$-non-croisées de $W$ et les $m$-amas de $\Phi$. Dans ce résumé, nous donnerons une bijection explicite entre ces deux ensembles. La démonstration dépend d'une réinterprétation des objets du point de vue des suites exceptionnelles de représentations de carquois.

Special Case

International audience We prove that the noncrossing partition lattices associated with the complex reflection groups G(d, d, n) for d, n ≥ 2 admit a decomposition into saturated chains that are symmetric about the middle ranks. A consequence of this result is that these lattices have the strong Sperner property, which asserts that the cardinality of the union of the k largest antichains does not exceed the sum of the k largest ranks for all k ≤ n. Subsequently, we use a computer to complete the proof that any noncrossing partition lattice associated with a well-generated complex reflection group is strongly Sperner, thus affirmatively answering a special case of a question of D. Armstrong. This was previously established only for the Coxeter groups of type A and B.

Abstract Suppose that G is a finitely generated group and {\operatorname{WP}(G)} is the formal language of words defining the identity in G. We prove that if G is a virtually nilpotent group that is not virtually abelian, the fundamental group of a finite volume hyperbolic three-manifold, or a right-angled Artin group whose graph lies in a certain infinite class, then {\operatorname{WP}(G)} is not a multiple context-free language.

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over K. A linear automorphism of V is said to be of type i if it leaves fixed a subspace of dimension i. A reflection is a linear automorphism of type n − 1 which has finite order. A finite reflection group is a finite group of linear automorphisms which is generated by reflections. These groups are especially interesting because the full group of symmetries of a regular poly tope is always a finite reflection group. There is also a strong connection between these groups and Lie groups.

Abstract We study negative powers of Laguerre differential operators in ℝd, d ≥ 1. For these operators we prove two-weight Lp − Lq estimates with ranges of q depending on p. The case of the harmonic oscillator (Hermite operator) has recently been treated by Bongioanni and Torrea by using a straightforward approach of kernel estimates. Here these results are applied in certain Laguerre settings. The procedure is fairly direct for Laguerre function expansions of Hermite type, due to some monotonicity properties of the kernels involved. The case of Laguerre function expansions of convolution type is less straightforward. For half-integer type indices. we transfer the desired results from the Hermite setting and then apply an interpolation argument based on a device we call the convexity principle to cover the continuous range of ϵ 2 [−1/2, ∞)d. Finally, we investigate negative powers of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator in the context of a finite reflection group acting on ℝd and isomorphic to ℤd2. The two weight Lp − Lq estimates we obtain in this setting are essentially consequences of those for Laguerre function expansions of convolution type.
