The smallest singular values of the icosahedral group
Abstract
For any finite reflection group on and any irreducible -module there is a space of polynomials on with values in . There are Dunkl operators parametrized by a multiplicity function, that is, parameters associated with each conjugacy class of reflections. For certain parameter values, called singular, there are nonconstant polynomials annihilated by each Dunkl operator. There is a Gaussian bilinear form on the polynomials which is positive for an open set of parameter values containing the origin. When has just one class of reflections and this set is an interval bounded by the positive and negative singular values of respective smallest absolute value. This interval is always symmetric around for the symmetric groups. This property does not hold in general, and the icosahedral group provides a counterexample. The interval for positivity of the Gaussian form is determined for each of the ten irreducible representations of .
