Deligne-Lusztig theoretic derivation for Weyl groups of the number of reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element. (Q2790169)

Let \(W\subset\mathrm{GL}(\mathbb C^n)\) be an irreducible well-generated finite complex reflection group, let \(\mathcal R\) be the set of its reflections, \(\mathcal R^*\) the set of its reflecting hyperplanes, and let \(c\) be a Coxeter element of \(W\).NEWLINENEWLINE \textit{G. Chapuy} and \textit{C. Stump} obtain a generating series for the number \(N_l:=|\{r_1,\ldots,r_l\in\mathcal R^l\mid r_1\cdots r_l=c\}|\) of factorizations of \(c\) into the product of \(l\) elements of \(\mathcal R\); [see J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 90, No. 3, 919-939 (2014; Zbl 1318.20039)].NEWLINENEWLINE The author of this paper investigates Weyl groups using combinatorial properties of Deligne-Lusztig representations; he obtains a uniform evaluation of the character-theoretic expression in the quoted paper.
