Weyl group symmetry on the GKM graph of a GKM manifold with an extended Lie group action (Q2341643)

In [\textit{M. Goresky} et al., Invent. Math. 131, No. 1, 25--83 (1998; Zbl 0897.22009)], Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson developed a theory for computing the torus equivariant cohomology for certain manifolds that nowadays are called GKM-manifolds. A GKM-manifold is a smooth manifold admitting an action of a torus, such that the fixed point set is finite, and satisfying some other conditions. In this paper, the author considers manifolds he calls GKM-manifolds with an extended \(G\)-action. Such a manifold \(M\) admits an action of a compact, simple, simply connected Lie group \(G\) with maximal torus \(T\), such that the restriction of the action to \(T\) equips \(M\) with a GKM-manifold structure. The torus equivariant cohomology ring of a GKM-manifold can be described combinatorially using a certain graph called GKM-graph. The author studies GKM-graphs of GKM-manifolds with an extended \(G\)-action. He shows that the GKM-graph of a GKM-manifold with an extended \(G\)-action has the symmetry of the Weyl group of \(G\). He also studies abstract GKM-graphs \(\Gamma\) with the symmetry of a finite Coxeter group. He discusses the cohomology ring \(H^\ast(\Gamma;{\mathbb{R}})\) of \(\Gamma\) and derives its properties combinatorially. In particular, he shows that \(H^\ast(\Gamma;{\mathbb{R}})\) is a module over the nil-Hecke ring.
