Singular polynomials from orbit spaces

We consider the polynomial representation S(V*) of the rational Cherednik algebra Hc(W) associated to a finite Coxeter group W at constant parameter c. We show that for any degree d of W and m∈ℕ the space S(V*) contains a single copy of the reflection representation V of W spanned by the homogeneous singular polynomials of degree d−1+hm, where h is the Coxeter number of W; these polynomials generate an Hc (W) submodule with the parameter c=(d−1)/h+m. We express these singular polynomials through the Saito polynomials which are flat coordinates of the Saito metric on the orbit space V/W. We also show that this exhausts all the singular polynomials in the isotypic component of the reflection representation V for any constant parameter c.

Multiplication of Polynomials on Hermitian Symmetric spaces and Littlewood–Richardson Coefficients

Let K be a complex reductive algebraic group and V a representation of K. Let S denote the ring of polynomials on V. Assume that the action of K on S is multiplicity-free. If ƛ denotes the isomorphism class of an irreducible representation of K, let ρƛ : K → GL(Vƛ) denote the corresponding irreducible representation and Sƛ the ƛ-isotypic component of S. Write Sƛ ・ Sμ for the subspace of S spanned by products of Sƛ and Sμ. If Vν occurs as an irreducible constituent of Vƛ ⊗ Vμ, is it true that Sν ⊆ Sƛ ・ Sμ? In this paper, the authors investigate this question for representations arising in the context of Hermitian symmetric pairs. It is shown that the answer is yes in some cases and, using an earlier result of Ruitenburg, that in the remaining classical cases, the answer is yes provided that a conjecture of Stanley on the multiplication of Jack polynomials is true. It is also shown how the conjecture connects multiplication in the ring S to the usual Littlewood–Richardson rule.

THE SYMMETRIC GROUP REPRESENTATION ON COHOMOLOGY OF THE REGULAR ELEMENTS OF A MAXIMAL TORUS OF THE SPECIAL LINEAR GROUP

We give a formula for the character of the representation of the symmetric group Sn on each isotypic component of the cohomology of the set of regular elements of a maximal torus of SLn, with respect to the action of the centre.

The quasiinvariants of the symmetric group

International audience For $m$ a non-negative integer and $G$ a Coxeter group, we denote by $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ the ring of $m$-quasiinvariants of $G$, as defined by Chalykh, Feigin, and Veselov. These form a nested series of rings, with $\mathbf{QI_0}(G)$ the whole polynomial ring, and the limit $\mathbf{QI}_{\infty}(G)$ the usual ring of invariants. Remarkably, the ring $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ is freely generated over the ideal generated by the invariants of $G$ without constant term, and the quotient is isomorphic to the left regular representation of $G$. However, even in the case of the symmetric group, no basis for $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ is known. We provide a new description of $\mathbf{QI_m}(S_n)$, and use this to give a basis for the isotypic component of $\mathbf{QI_m}(S_n)$ indexed by the shape $[n-1,1]$. Pour $m$ un entier positif ou nul et $G$ un groupe de Coxeter, nous notons $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ l'anneau des quasiinvariants définis par Chalykh, Feigin et Veselov. On obtient ainsi une série d'anneaux emboités, $\mathbf{QI_0}(G)$ étant l'anneau des polynômes, et la limite $\mathbf{QI}_{\infty}(G)$ l'anneau des invariants usuels. Il est remarquable que l'anneau $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ est librement généré sur l'idéal engendré par les invariants de $G$ sans terme constant, et le quotient est isomorphe à la représentation régulière à gauche de $G$. Cependant, même dans le cas du groupe symétrique, aucune base de $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ n'est connue. Nous donnons une nouvelle description de $\mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ et l'utilisons pour obtenir une base du composant isotypique de $\mathbf{QI_m}(S_n)$ indexée par la partition $(n-1,1)$.

The Contragredient Isotypic Component of the Regular Representation of Pseudoreflection Groups

For the regular representation of a pseudoreflection group G we characterize the occurrences of the contragredient representation as the gradient spaces of a set of Chevalley generators of the invariants of G.
