An Inversion Statistic on the Hyperoctahedral Group

Combinatorics 2023-07-21 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an inversion statistic on the hyperoctahedral group BnB_n by using an decomposition of a positive root system of this reflection group. Then we prove some combinatorial properties for the inversion statistic. We establish an enumeration system on the group BnB_n and give an efficient method to uniquely derive any group element known its enumeration order with the help of the inversion table. In addition, we prove that the \textit{flag-major index} is equi-distributed with this inversion statistic on BnB_n.
