The symmetric group representation on cohomology of the regular elements of a maximal torus of the special linear group

Anthony Henderson


Abstract

We give a formula for the character of the representation of the Weyl group Sn on each isotypic component of the cohomology of the set of regular elements of a maximal torus of SLn, with respect to the action of the centre. As a consequence, we find that this representation is induced from a cohomology representation of a wreath product subgroup.

Keywords: representation, cohomology.
