Equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids

In this paper, we focus on the equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids, a natural family of graphic matroids associated with the complete tripartite graphs $K_{1,1,n}$. These polynomials were introduced by Proudfoot as an extension of the Kazhdan--Lusztig theory for matroids. We derive closed-form expressions for the $\mathfrak{S}_n$-equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids and present them explicitly in terms of the irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{S}_n$. As an application, we also provide explicit formulas for the non-equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials, originally defined by Gao and Xie, and give an alternative proof using generating functions. Furthermore, we prove that the inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids are log-concave.
