In the case where the local system is equivariant for the symmetric group, we write the cohomology groups as direct sums of inductions of one-dimensional characters of subgroups. This relies on an equivariant description of the Orlik-Solomon algebras of full monomial reflection groups (wreath products of the symmetric group with a cyclic group). The combinatorial models involved are certain representations of these wreath products which possess bases indexed by labelled trees.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-03-02T23:01:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C30", "58A10" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric group", "cohomology representations", "cohomology groups", "full monomial reflection groups", "wreath products" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......8162H" } } }
