Shellability of posets of labeled partitions and arrangements defined by root systems (Q2327229)

Summary: We prove that the posets of connected components of intersections of toric and elliptic arrangements defined by root systems are EL-shellable and we compute their homotopy type. Our method rests on Bibby's description [\textit{C. Bibby}, J. Algebr. Comb. 48, No. 1, 51--75 (2018; Zbl 1401.52033)] of such posets by means of ``labeled partitions'': after giving an EL-labeling and counting homology chains for general posets of labeled partitions, we obtain the stated results by considering the appropriate subposets.
