Igusa's zeta functions
Count roots of f∈Z[X1,…,Xd]: let p be a prime,
Igusa's zeta function – p-adic integral closely related to
Of interest: f a product of linear polynomials.
Goal: use combinatorial & topological tools to understand asymptotics and arithmetic of Pf(T) and Igusa zeta function.
Comes up in computing: subgroup, representation, & class counting zeta functions.

Order complex: Δ(L(A)) – flags in L(A)

F empty flag in Δ(L(A)):

A different coarsening
Set each Tx=T to get coarse flag Hilbert–Poincaré series:
Easier to see examples & other combinatorial properties.
Nice form:
Braid arrangement in Qn:
All nonnegative coefficients. Computed with HypIgu.
Do coefficients of NA(Y,T) have combinatorial interpretation?
Coxeter arrangements
The Eulerian polynomial En(T) is combinatorially defined.
Thm (M.–Voll 2021). For a Coxeter arrangement A with no E8 factors:
Conjecture (M.–Voll). For arbitrary A, the coefficients of NA(Y,T) are nonnegative.
Apply combinatorial & topological tools from hyperplane arrangements to understand asymptotics and arithmetic of
Flag Hilbert–Poincaré series have combinatorial features:
Thm. A central and characteristic 0 ⟹ fHPA self-reciprocal.
Thm. A Coxeter and no E8-factor ⟹ NA(1,T)=πA(1)⋅Erk(A)(T).

Flag Hilbert--Poincaré series and Igusa zeta functions of hyperplane arrangements
By Josh Maglione
Flag Hilbert--Poincaré series and Igusa zeta functions of hyperplane arrangements
We define a class of multivariate rational functions associated with hyperplane arrangements called flag Hilbert--Poincaré series, and we show how these rational functions are connected to Igusa zeta functions. We report on a general self-reciprocity result and explore other connections within algebraic combinatorics. This is joint work with Christopher Voll.
