poincareSeries(RootSystem,Parabolic,RingElement) -- the generating series of a quotient of the Weyl group by length

Synopsis

• Function: poincareSeries

• Usage:

  poincareSeries(R,P,x)

• Inputs:
  • R, an instance of the type RootSystem
  • P, an instance of the type Parabolic
  • x, a ring element
• Outputs:
  • a ring element, a polynomial in the variable x where the coefficient in front of x^i is the number of cosets in the Weyl group of R modulo the Weyl group of P where the minimal element is of length i.
