Parking Spaces for Complex Reflection Groups
Jason Stack
TL;DR
This work extends noncrossing and parking-function theory to irreducible well-generated complex reflection groups by defining both combinatorial $W$-noncrossing parking spaces and algebraic $W$-parking spaces, proving a $(W\times C)$-equivariant isomorphism between them, and thereby enumerating $W$-noncrossing parking functions. It generalizes to Fuss analogues, establishing $(W\times \mathbb{Z}_{kh})$-equivariant isomorphisms and cardinalities $(kh+1)^n$, and provides explicit case-by-case bijections for the families $G(d,1,n)$ and $G(d,d,n)$, including hsop constructions illustrated by examples like $G_{10}$. The results hold for all such complex groups except $G_{34}$, $E_7$, and $E_8$, with computational verification underpinning the exceptional cases. By bridging combinatorial models with invariant-theoretic algebra, the paper broadens Coxeter-Catalan phenomena into the realm of complex reflection groups and their Fuss generalizations.
Abstract
We answer an open problem of arXiv:1204.1760 and arXiv:1205.4293, extending their work to irreducible well--generated complex reflection groups $W$. We define a combinatorial $W$-noncrossing parking space and an algebraic $W$-parking space for such $W$, and exhibit a $(W \times C)$-equivariant isomorphism between the two. As a consequence of this isomorphism, we enumerate the $W$-noncrossing parking functions. Finally, we extend our results to the Fuss case. We prove the results for all such complex reflection groups except $G_{34}$, $E_7,$ and $E_8$.
