Poincaré series for maximal de Concini-Procesi models of root arrangements (Q2428059)

Given a subspace arrangement in a vector space, one can associate to it a variety, called its wonderful model in the sense of De Concini and Procesi. These varieties appear in many fields of research: toric geometry, discrete geometry, theory of moduli spaces of curves, to name just a few. For each arrangement one can construct several wonderful models; they are indexed by certain combinatorial data (``building sets''). Among these, there always exist a minimal and a maximal building set with respect to inclusion; the corresponding wonderful models are also called a minimal and a maximal one. This paper is devoted to a particularly important class of arrangements: the root arrangements. Cohomology bases for maximal complex models of root arrangements were described by \textit{S. Yuzvinski } [Invent. Math. 127, No. 2, 319--335 (1997; Zbl 0989.14006)]. The authors use his results to compute inductive formulas for Poincaré series of maximal complex models associated to root arrangements of types A, B, C, and D.
