Algebraic Combinatorics", "categories": [ "math.CO", "math.GR" ], "abstract": "A permutation representation of a Coxeter group $W$ naturally defines an absolute order. This family of partial orders (which includes the absolute order on $W$) is introduced and studied in this paper. Conditions under which the associated rank generating polynomial divides the rank generating polynomial of the absolute order on $W$ are investigated when $W$ is finite. Several examples, including a symmetric group action on perfect matchings, are discussed. As an application, a well-behaved absolute order on the alternating subgroup of $W$ is defined.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-07T20:26:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E15", "20F55" ], "keywords": [ "permutation representation", "coxeter group", "associated rank generating polynomial divides", "symmetric group action", "partial orders" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.0856A" } } }
