Green Table

Displays the Green functions QwFQ_{wF}, corresponding to GreenTable(uc, W) in GAP3/Chevie. These are defined by QwF=u,ϕϕ~(wF)X~u,ϕQ_{wF} = \sum_{u,\phi} \tilde{\phi}(wF)\, \tilde{X}_{u,\phi}, where the sum ranges over all local systems (u,ϕ)(u, \phi) and X~u,ϕ\tilde{X}_{u,\phi} are the (normalised) characteristic functions of the intersection cohomology complexes. The rows are indexed by conjugacy classes of the relative Weyl groups WG(L)W_\mathbf{G}(\mathbf{L}) attached to the cuspidal local systems; the columns are the local systems LjL_j (default) or unipotent classes uju_j. For the principal Springer series, where L=T\mathbf{L} = \mathbf{T} is a maximal torus, the function QwFQ_{wF} coincides with the restriction to the unipotent elements of the Deligne–Lusztig character RTwG(1)R^{\mathbf{G}}_{\mathbf{T}_w}(1). A Y-table toggle shows the companion matrix used in the Lusztig–Shoji algorithm.
