Abstract: Greene's rational function $$ is a sum of certain rational functions in $$ over the linear extensions of the poset $P$ (which has $n$ elements), which he introduced in his study of the Murnaghan-Nakayama formula for the characters of the symmetric group. In recent work Boussicault, F'eray, Lascoux and Reiner showed that $$ equals a valuation on a cone and calculated $$ for several posets this way. In this paper we give an expression for $$ for any poset $P$. We obtain such a formula using dissections of root polytopes. Moreover, we use the subdivision algebra of root polytopes to show that in certain instances $$ can be expressed as a product formula, thus giving a compact alternative proof of Greene's original result and its generalizations.
