Coinvariant algebras and fake degrees for spin Weyl groups of classical type

Representation Theory 2014-01-31 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

The coinvariant algebra of a Weyl group plays a fundamental role in several areas of mathematics. The fake degrees are the graded multiplicities of the irreducible modules of a Weyl group in its coinvariant algebra, and they were computed by Steinberg, Lusztig and Beynon-Lusztig. In this paper we formulate a notion of spin coinvariant algebra for every Weyl group. Then we compute all the spin fake degrees for each classical Weyl group, which are by definition the graded multiplicities of the simple modules of a spin Weyl group in the spin coinvariant algebra. The spin fake degrees for the exceptional Weyl groups are given in a sequel.

v2, 39 pages, title modified (with "of classical type" added), the original version was split into two parts following editor's suggestion; this v2 is the part one (to appear in Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.), with a sequel dealing with the exceptional type
