Determinants of representations of Coxeter groups

Abstract: In [APS], the authors characterize the partitions of

n

whose corresponding representations of

S_{n}

have nontrivial determinant. The present paper extends this work to all irreducible finite Coxeter groups

W

. Namely, given a nontrivial multiplicative character

o m e g a

of

W

, we give a closed formula for the number of irreducible representations of

W

with determinant

o m e g a

. For Coxeter groups of type

B_{n}

and

D_{n}

, this is accomplished by characterizing the bipartitions associated to such representations.
