3 F eb 1 99 8 A Generalization of an Alternating Sum Formula for Finite Coxeter Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
For W a finite Coxeter group, a formula is found for the size of W equivalence classes of subsets of a base. The proof is a case-by-case analysis using results and tables of Orlik and Solomon. As a corollary we obtain an alternating sum identity which generalizes a well-known identity from the theory of Coxeter groups.

A generalization of Euler numbers to finite Coxeter groups
It is known that Euler numbers, defined as the Taylor coefficients of the tangent and secant functions, count alternating permutations in the symmetric group. Springer defined a generalization of these numbers for each finite Coxeter group by considering the largest descent class, and computed the value in each case of the classification. We consider here another generalization of Euler numbers...

We prove a gluing formula for the Donaldson invariants of the connected sum of two four-manifolds along a surface of genus 2. We also prove a finite type condition for manifolds containing a surface of genus 2, self-intersection zero and representing an odd homology class.
متن کاملThe Weyl character formula, the half-spin representations, and equal rank subgroups.
Let B be a reductive Lie subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra F of the same rank both over the complex numbers. To each finite dimensional irreducible representation Vlambda of F we assign a multiplet of irreducible representations of B with m elements in each multiplet, where m is the index of the Weyl group of B in the Weyl group of F. We obtain a generalization of the Weyl character formu...

The minimal blow-ups of simplicial Coxeter complexes are natural generalizations of the real moduli space of Riemann spheres. They inherit a tiling by the graph-associahedra convex polytopes. We obtain configuration space models for these manifolds (of spherical and Euclidean Coxeter type) using particles on lines and circles. A (Fulton-MacPherson) compactification of these spaces is described ...

Vacuum structure in supersymmetric Yang–Mills theories with any gauge group. Abstract We consider the pure supersymmetric Yang–Mills theories placed on a small 3-dimensional spatial torus with higher orthogonal and exceptional gauge groups. The problem of constructing the quantum vacuum states is reduced to a pure mathematical problem of classifying the flat connections on T 3 which is solved i...
