On Extending Type $B$ Parking Spaces

Abstract

Armstrong, Reiner, and Rhoades defined for all Weyl groups $W$ a natural representation of $W$ called the $W$-parking space. The type $B$ parking space is the representation $\mathbb{C}[(\mathbb{Z}/(2n+1)\mathbb{Z}{)}^n]$ of the $n$th signed symmetric group. We consider more general representations of the form $\mathbb{C}[(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}{)}^n]$; we conjecture that this representation extends to the $(n+1)$th signed symmetric group for all $n$ and $m$. We prove this conjecture when $m=3$ or when $n\le 2$.
