Lattices of Parabolic Subgroups in Connection with Hyperplane Arrangements
نویسنده
چکیده
Let W be a Coxeter group acting as a matrix group by way of the dual of the geometric representation. Let L be the lattice of intersections of all reflecting hyperplanes associated with the reflections in this representation. We show that L is isomorphic to the lattice consisting of all parabolic subgroups of W . We use this correspondence to find all W for which L is supersolvable. In particular, we show that the only infinite Coxeter group for which L is supersolvable is the infinite dihedral group. Also, we show how this isomorphism gives an embedding of L into the partition lattice whenever W is of type An , Bn or Dn . In addition, we give several results concerning non-broken circuit bases (NBC bases) when W is finite. We show that L is supersolvable if and only if all NBC bases are obtainable by a certain specific combinatorial procedure, and we use the lattice of parabolic subgroups to identify a natural subcollection of the collection of all NBC bases.

On Flag Vectors, the Dowling Lattice, and Braid Arrangements
We study complex hyperplane arrangements whose intersection lattices, known as the Dowling lattices, are a natural generalization of the partition lattice. We give a combinatorial description of the Dowling lattice via enriched partitions to obtain an explicit EL-labeling and then find a recursion for the flag h-vector in terms of weighted derivations. When the hyperplane arrangements are real ...
متن کاملFree hyperplane arrangements associated to labeled rooted trees
To each labeled rooted tree is associated a hyperplane arrangement, which is free with exponents given by the depths of the vertices of this tree. The intersection lattices of these arrangements are described through posets of forests. These posets are used to define coalgebras, whose dual algebras are shown to have a simple presentation by generators and relations.
متن کاملDescent algebras, hyperplane arrangements, and shuffling cards. To appear
This note establishes a connection between Solomon’s descent algebras and the theory of hyperplane arrangements. It is shown that card-shuffling measures on Coxeter groups, originally defined in terms of descent algebras, have an elegant combinatorial description in terms of random walk on the chambers of hyperplane arrangements. As a corollary, a positivity conjecture of Fulman is proved.

متن کاملS-arithmeticity of Discrete Subgroups Containing Lattices in Horospherical Subgroups
0. Introduction. Let Qp be the field of p-adic numbers, and let Q∞ = R. Let Gp be a connected semisimpleQp-algebraic group. The unipotent radical of a proper parabolic Qp-subgroup of Gp is called a horospherical subgroup. Two horospherical subgroups are called opposite if they are the unipotent radicals of two opposite parabolic subgroups. In [5] and [6], we studied discrete subgroups generated...
