Abstract

In a seminal work, Bessis gave a geometric interpretation of the noncrossing lattice NC(W)NC(W) associated to a well-generated complex reflection group WW. Chief component of this was the trivialization theorem, a fundamental correspondence between families of chains of NC(W)NC(W) and the fibers of a finite quasi-homogeneous morphism, the LLLL map. We consider a variant of the LLLL map, prescribed by the trivialization theorem, and apply it to the study of finer enumerative and structural properties of NC(W)NC(W). In particular, we extend work of Bessis and Ripoll and enumerate the so-called "primitive factorizations" of the Coxeter element cc. That is, length additive factorizations of the form c=wt1tkc=w\cdot t_1\cdots t_k, where ww belongs to a given conjugacy class and the tit_i's are reflections.
