Stapledon's trivial-representation conjecture for equivariant Ehrhart coefficients
Stapledon's trivial-representation conjecture for equivariant Ehrhart coefficients
Let be a finite group, let be a lattice, let be an affine representation, and let be a -invariant lattice polytope. Assume that is a polynomial, and write for the coefficient of , where is any nonnegative integer. Stapledon's trivial-representation conjecture. If is nonzero and effective, then the trivial representation occurs with nonzero multiplicity in . The conjecture was verified for the symmetric-group action on the permutahedron, but the paper gives a counterexample, so it is refuted.
