Abstract

We extend the Shi bijection from the Borel subalgebra case to parabolic subalgebras. In the process, the II-deleted Shi arrangement Shi(I)\texttt{Shi}(I) naturally emerges. This arrangement interpolates between the Coxeter arrangement Cox\texttt{Cox} and the Shi arrangement Shi\texttt{Shi}, and breaks the symmetry of Shi\texttt{Shi} in a certain symmetrical way. Among other things, we determine the characteristic polynomial χ(Shi(I),t)\chi(\texttt{Shi}(I), t) of Shi(I)\texttt{Shi}(I) explicitly for An1A_{n-1} and CnC_n. More generally, let Shi(G)\texttt{Shi}(G) be an arbitrary arrangement between Cox\texttt{Cox} and Shi\texttt{Shi}. Armstrong and Rhoades recently gave a formula for χ(Shi(G),t)\chi(\texttt{Shi}(G), t) for An1A_{n-1}. Inspired by their result, we obtain formulae for χ(Shi(G),t)\chi(\texttt{Shi}(G), t) for BnB_n, CnC_n and DnD_n.
