Hanson" ], "comment": "16 pages, 8 figures", "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "Bernardi has given a general formula to compute the number of regions of a deformation of the braid arrangement as a signed sum over boxed trees. We prove that the contribution to this sum of the set of boxed trees sharing an underlying rooted labeled tree is -1, 0, or 1 and give an algorithm for computing this value. We then restrict to arrangements which we call almost transitive and construct a sign-reversing involution which reduces Bernardi's signed sum to the enumeration of a set of rooted labeled trees in this case. We conclude by explicitly enumerating the trees corresponding to the regions of certain nested Ish arrangements which we call non-negative, recovering their known counting formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-02T11:47:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19" ], "keywords": [ "braid arrangement", "bernardi formula", "non-transitive deformations", "rooted labeled tree", "boxed trees" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
