Equivariant Euler characteristics on permutohedral varieties

Abstract

By the work of J.Huh, one can interpret binomial coefficients as a solution to an intersection problem on a permutohedral variety XEX_E. Applying Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch, this intersection problem is equivalent to computing Euler characteristic of a specific element of KK-theory of XEX_E. This element has a natural lifting to equivariant KK-theory and thus the Euler characteristic may be upgraded to a Laurent polynomial. We provide and implement three different approaches, in particular a recursive one, to computing these polynomials.
