The character identity for roots and the Orlik–Solomon representation

Let WW be a finite Coxeter group of rank nn, with RR its representation on the set of roots. Let GG' be the virtual WW-module obtained by evaluating at t=1t=1 the graded quotient of the cohomology representation of the complexified hyperplane arrangement by 1t1-t, and let fWf_W be the integer appearing in the preceding dimension formula. Write Reg\operatorname{Reg} for the regular representation of WW. Character identity. One should have an equality of characters

RG=(1)n1fWReg.R\otimes G'=(-1)^{n-1}f_W\operatorname{Reg}.

The identity would refine the corresponding equality of dimensions and seek a representation-theoretic interpretation of the counting formula for full reflections. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
