Let \(X\) be a complex algebraic variety, so that each cohomology group \(H^j_c(X,{\mathbb C})\) is equipped with a weight filtration as part of its mixed Hodge structure. An algebraic action of a finite group \(\Gamma \) on \(X\) yields a \(\Gamma \)-representation on the graded pieces \(W_mH^j_c(X,{\mathbb C})/W_{m-1}H^j_c(X,{\mathbb C})\), and, summing over degrees (with sign) and weights, the weight polynomial \(W^{\Gamma}_c(X,t)\in R(\Gamma)[t]\). This polynomial enjoys an additivity property with respect to decompositions into \(\Gamma\)-invariant subsets which is the key for calculations. A variety \(X\) is called separably pure if its non-zero cohomology groups have pure Hodge structures with different weights. In this case the weight polynomial determines the individual \(\Gamma \)-modules \(H^j_c(X)\). This is the case, in particular, for a toral arrangement, i.e., for the complement of a finite union of kernels of characters of an algebraic torus. Finally, the authors comment on parallel results concerning varieties over \({\mathbb F}_q\) and their \(\ell \)-adic cohomology. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
