The poset of positive roots and its relatives

چکیده
Let be a root system with a subset of positive roots, +. We consider edges of the Hasse diagrams of some posets associated with +. For each edge one naturally defines its type, and we study the partition of the set of edges into types. For +, the type is a simple root, and for the posets of ad-nilpotent and Abelian ideals the type is an affine simple root. We give several descriptions of the set of edges of given type and uniform expressions for the number of edges. By a result of Peterson, the number of Abelian ideals is 2n , where n is the rank of . We prove that the number of edges of the corresponding Hasse diagram is (n + 1)2n−2. For + and the Abelian ideals, we compute the number of edges of each type and prove that the number of edges of type α depends only on the length of the root α.

A poset connected to Artin monoids of simply laced type
Let W be a Weyl group whose type is a simply laced Dynkin diagram. On several W -orbits of sets of mutually commuting reflections, a poset is described which plays a role in linear representations of the corresponding Artin group A. The poset generalizes many properties of the usual order on positive roots of W given by height. In this paper, a linear representation of the positive monoid of A ...
متن کاملAbelian Ideals of a Borel Subalgebra and Long Positive Roots
Let b be a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra g. Let Ab denote the set of all Abelian ideals of b. It is easily seen that any a ∈ Ab is actually contained in the nilpotent radical of b. Therefore a is determined by the the corresponding set of roots. More precisely, let t be a Cartan subalgebra of g lying in b and let ∆ be the root system of the pair (g, t). Choose ∆, the system of positi...
متن کاملTwo Covering Polynomials of a Finite Poset, with Applications to Root Systems and Ad-nilpotent Ideals
In this note, we introduce two polynomials associated with a finite poset P , study their properties, and then compute these polynomials in the case, where P is one of the posets considered in [13]. Consider two statistics κ and ι on P . By definition, κ(x), x ∈ P , is the number of elements of P that are covered by x, and ι(x) is the number of elements that covers x. The generating function as...
متن کاملThe concept of logic entropy on D-posets
In this paper, a new invariant called {it logic entropy} for dynamical systems on a D-poset is introduced. Also, the {it conditional logical entropy} is defined and then some of its properties are studied. The invariance of the {it logic entropy} of a system under isomorphism is proved. At the end, the notion of an $ m $-generator of a dynamical system is introduced and a version of the Kolm...
متن کاملThe order dimension of the poset of regions in a hyperplane arrangement
We show that the order dimension of the weak order on a Coxeter group of type A, B or D is equal to the rank of the Coxeter group, and give bounds on the order dimensions for the other finite types. This result arises from a unified approach which, in particular, leads to a simpler treatment of the previously known cases, types A and B [8, 13]. The result for weak orders follows from an upper b...
