A refined count of Coxeter element reflection factorizations (Q1700797): Difference between revisions

Summary: For well-generated complex reflection groups, \textit{G. Chapuy} and \textit{C. Stump} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 90, No. 3, 919--939 (2014; Zbl 1318.20039)] gave a simple product for a generating function counting reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element by their length. This is refined here to record the number of reflections used from each orbit of hyperplanes. The proof is case-by-case via the classification of well-generated groups. It implies a new expression for the Coxeter number, expressed via data coming from a hyperplane orbit; a case-free proof of this due to J. Michel is included.
