Sign balance for finite groups of Lie type

Yona Cherniavsky, Eli Bagno

Published 2005-02-22Version 1

A product formula for the parity generating function of the number of 1's in invertible matrices over Z_2 is given. The computation is based on algebraic tools such as the Bruhat decomposition. The same technique is used to obtain a parity generating function also for symplectic matrices over Z_2. We present also a generating function for the sum of entries of matrices over an arbitrary finite field F_q calculated in F_q. These formulas are new appearances of the Mahonian distribution.
