The Flag Major Index and Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

arXiv:math/0002245

Abstract

A new extension of the major index, defined in terms of Coxeter elements, is introduced. For the classical Weyl groups of type , it is equidistributed with length. For more general wreath products it appears in an explicit formula for the Hilbert series of the (diagonal action) invariant algebra.
