 University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nWe define a 
 generalization of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian and determine its t
 opology in the case of real projective space. We find the spaces to be PL 
 manifolds with boundary which are homotopy equivalent to another real proj
 ective space of smaller dimension. In certain cases we have Cohen-Macaulay
  triangulations. Time permitting we will discuss joint work with N. Berger
 on\, Dermenjian\, and Sulzgruber giving an h-vector interpretation in term
 s of descents in signed permutations.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir des

 n University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nComplex ne
 tworks are said to exhibit four key properties: large scale\, evolving ove
 r time\, small world properties\, and power law degree distribution. The P
 referential Attachment Model (BarabásiAlbert\, 1999) and the ACL Prefer
 ential Attachment Model (Aiello\, Chung\, Lu\, 2001) for random networks\,
  evolve over time and rely on the structure of the graph at the previous t
 ime step. Further models of complex networks include: the Iterated Local T
 ransitivity Model (Bonato\, Hadi\, Horn\, Pralat\, Wang\, 2011) and the It
 erated Local Anti-Transitivity Model (Bonato\, Infeld\, Pokhrel\, Pralat\,
  2017). In this talk\, we will define and discuss the Iterated Local Model
 . This is a generalization of the ILT and ILAT models\, where at each time
  step edges are added deterministically according to the structure of the 
 graph at the previous time step. We will also discuss the Iterated Global 
 Model\, which considered creating a new graph based on subsets of nodes ra
 ther than relying on the underlying structure. For each model\, we will pr
 ove that they satisfy the complex network properties.\n\nEn ligne /Web : P

 s/3/">Many cluster structures on Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian</a
 >\nby Melissa Sherman-Bennett (Harvard University) as part of CRM-Séminai
 re du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nScott (2006) showed that the coordinate ring of
  (the affine cone over) the Grassmannian is a cluster algebra. Moreover\, 
 the seeds for this cluster algebra consisting entirely of Plucker coordina
 tes are combinatorially well-understood: they can be obtained from Postnik
 ov's plabic graphs for the Grassmannian. In work with K. Serhiyenko and L.
  Williams\, we showed that Postnikov's plabic graphs give seeds for a clus
 ter structure on (open) Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian. However\, 
 the situation for Schubert varieties is a bit more mysterious than for the
  Grassmannian. In particular\, plabic graphs naturally give rise to two di
 fferent cluster algebras\, depending on if one uses "source labeling" or "
 target labeling". These two cluster algebras are both equal to the coordin
 ate ring of the (affine cone over the open) Schubert variety\, but have di
 fferent frozen variables and different cluster variables. A priori\, they 
 give rise to different positive parts of the Schubert variety. I'll discus
 s work with C. Fraser\, in which we determine the precise relationship bet
 ween these two cluster algebras: loosely\, the seeds of the target cluster
  algebra can be rescaled by Laurent monomials in the frozens to obtain see
 ds of the source cluster algebra. Along the way to proving this result\, w
 e find many more cluster structures on Schubert varieties given by "genera
 lized" plabic graphs.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir des détails concern

 eigandt (University of Michigan) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nA
 bstract\nThe geometric naturality of Schubert polynomials and the related 
 combinatorics of pipe dreams was established by Knutson and Miller (2005) 
 via antidiagonal Gröbner degeneration of matrix Schubert varieties. We co
 nsider instead diagonal Gröbner degenerations. In this dual setting\, Knu
 tson\, Miller\, and Yong (2009) obtained alternative combinatorics for the
  class of vexillary matrix Schubert varieties. We will discuss general dia
 gonal degenerations\, relating them to a neglected formula of Lascoux (200
 2) in terms of the 6-vertex ice model. Lascoux's formula was recently redi
 scovered by Lam\, Lee\, and Shimozono (2018)\, as "bumpless pipe dreams." 
 We will explain this connection and discuss conjectures and progress towar
 ds understanding diagonal Gröbner degenerations of matrix Schubert variet
 ies. This is joint work with Zachary Hamaker and Oliver Pechenik.\n\nEn li

 ty of Minnesota) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Gra
 ssmannian Gr(k\,n) admits an action by a finite cyclic group of order n vi
 a the cyclic shift automorphism. The combinatorial structures underlying b
 oth total nonnegativity and clusters for Gr(k\,n) are cyclically equivaria
 nt\, which is one explanation for the particular elegance of these structu
 res in the case of Gr(k\,n). We will explore the L-shift locus in Gr(k\,n)
 \, i.e. the subvariety of points fixed by the Lth power of the cyclic shif
 t. Steven Karp recently showed that the 1-shift locus consists of finitely
  many points. On the other hand the n-shift locus is Gr(k\,n) itself. Our 
 theorems interpolate between these extremes: we provide a simple geometric
  description of the L-shift locus for any L\, describe its total nonnegati
 vity locus as a stratified space\, and propose an atlas of generalized clu
 ster charts (in the style of Chekhov-Shapiro) whose clusters are total pos
 itivity tests.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir des détails concernant ce

 a>\nby Laura Colmenarejo (University of Massachusetts Amherst) as part of 
 CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the 1950s\, K. T. Chen introduce
 d the iterated-integral signature of a piecewise continuously differentiab
 le path. Up to a natural equivalence relation\, this determines the initia
 l path. In general\, the signature of a path can be seen as a multidimensi
 onal time series. When the terminal time is fixed\, the signature of a pat
 h can be seen as tensors and the calculation of the signature becomes a st
 andard problem in data science. In this talk\, I want to look at the signa
 tures of paths from a combinatorial perspective in the shuffle algebra. We
  will discuss some recent results\, also with an algebraic taste\, and we 
 will discuss an alternative proof of de Bruijns formula.\n\nEn ligne /Web

 n enumeration problem is very often a generating function F. Some problems
  are too difficult for us to find the explicit form of F. In this talk\, w
 e will introduce a method that leads to negative results that are rare in 
 this part of combinatorics. When our method applies\, it shows that F is n
 ot a rational function\, which provides at least some explanation of the f
 act that the original enumeration problem is difficult. As an example\, we
  will discuss a 22-year old conjecture of Zeilberger and Noonan. The talk 
 will be accessible to graduate students.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir d

  Economics and Political Science\, University of Illinois at Chicago) as p
 art of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\nLecture held in En ligne/Web.\n\nAbstrac
 t\nA Latin square of order $n$ is an $n$  times  $n$ array filled with $n$
  symbols such that each symbol appears only once in every row or column an
 d a transversal is a collection of cells which do not share the same row\,
  column or symbol. The study of Latin squares goes back more than 200 year
 s to the work of Euler. One of the most famous open problems in this area 
 is a conjecture of Ryser\, Brualdi and Stein from 60s which says that ever
 y Latin square of order $n\\times n$ contains a transversal of order $n-1$
 . A closely related problem is 40 year old conjecture of Brouwer that ever
 y Steiner triple system of order n contains a matching of size $(n-4)/3$. 
 The third problem wed like to mention asks how many distinct symbols in La
 tin arrays suffice to guarantee a full transversal? In this talk we discus
 s a novel approach to attack these problems.  Joint work with Peter Keevas
 h\, Alexey Pokrovskiy and Benny Sudakov.\n

 connections with orthogonal symmetric polynomials in many variables such a
 s Macdonald and Koornwinder polynomials. In this talk\, I will discuss new
  formulas for Macdonald polynomials (joint work with Corteel and Williams)
  that arise from the study of the ASEP on a ring\, and introduce a new not
 ion of quasisymmetric Macdonald polynomials (joint with Corteel\, Haglund\

 \, I will present four statistics on alternating sign trapezoids and on co
 lumn strict shifted plane partitions and show that the joint distribution 
 on each family of objects is the same.  Alternating sign trapezoids are a 
 generalisation of alternating sign triangles which were introduced by Ayye
 r\, Behrend\, and Fischer.  They proved that alternating sign triangles ar
 e equinumerous with alternating sign matrices.  Column strict shifted plan
 e partitions were essentially introduced by Andrews and they generalise de
 scending plane partitions.  Fischer has recently established a threefold r
 efined enumeration on both of these classes with the same joint distributu
 ion of statistics.  In this talk\, I will extend her result by adding a fo
 rth statistic: the number of &#8722\;1s on alternating sign trapezoids and
  the corresponding statistic on column strict shifted plane partitions whi
 ch generalises the notion of special parts on descending plane partitions.

 LA) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe shuffle conjectu
 re was a big open problem which gave a combinatorial formula for the Frobe
 nius character of the space of diagonal harmonics in terms of certain symm
 etric functions indexed by Dyck paths. This conjecture was finally solved 
 after 14 years by Carlsson and Mellit via the introduction of a new intere
 sting algebra denoted $A_{q\,t}$. This algebra arises as an extension of t
 he affine Hecke algebra by certain raising and lowering operators and acts
  on the space of symmetric functions via certain complicated plethystic op
 erators. Afterwards Carlsson\, Mellit\, and Gorsky showed this algebra and
  its representation could be realized using parabolic flag Hilbert schemes
  and in addition to containing the generators of the elliptic Hall algebra
 . Despite the various formulations of this algebra\, computations within i
 t are extremely complicated and non-intuitive. In this talk I will discuss
  joint work with Matt Hogancamp where we construct a new topological formu
 lation of $A_{q\,t}$ and its representation as certain braid diagrams on a
 n annulus. In this setting many of the complicated algebraic relations of 
 $A_{q\,t}$ and applications to symmetric functions are trivial consequence
 s of the skein relation imposed on the pictures. In particular\, many diff
 icult computations become simple diagrammatic manipulations in this new fr
 amework. If time permits\, I will also discuss a categorification of our c
 onstruction as certain functors over the derived trace of the Soergel cate
 gory.\n

  produces infinitely many cluster variables\, and it is a natural question
  to describe the limiting behavior of variables along this path. I will de
 scribe a solution to this problem similar to that of Keller-Scherotzke (ar
 Xiv:1004.0613) using a notion of mutation invariant functions on a cluster

 s/19/">Algebraic combinatorics School online (Women in Mathematics confere
 nce\, open to all)</a>\nby See schedule on web page (UQAM) as part of CRM-
 Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nPlease visit the conference webpage: ht
 tps://sites.google.com/view/sswc/home The aim of this school is to develop
  the participants knowledge and enthusiasm towards algebraic combinatorics
 . Through high-level presentations\, the students will learn multiple comb
 inatorial aspects linked to representation theory. They will also have the
  opportunity to try out what they have learned in exercise periods. Every 
 day\, a postdoctoral researcher will introduce a research topic tied to th
 e introductory classes. In addition\, introduction to programming in Pytho
 n and Sage\, very useful tool for coding problems in algebraic combinatori
 cs\, will take place at the end of the day.  Schubert calculus\, symmetric
  functions\, cluster algebra\, Tamari lattices\, frieze combinatorics and 
 cluster categories are not only ways to study representation theory\, but 
 have many links between them. On one hand\, cluster algebras\, introduced 
 by Sergey Fomin and Andrei Zelevinsky\, can be studied using the combinato
 rics of friezes\, on the other hand\, they can be studied algebraically us
 ing cluster categories. Moreover\, they have a correspondence with double 
 Bruhat cells. In the case of Flag varieties and grassmanians\, the decompo
 sition into Bruhat cells gives way to decomposition into Schubert cells. T
 hese can be obtained using Schubert calculus. Schubbert polynomials are a 
 generalization of Schur functions\, which are symmetric functions. Using s
 ub-word complexes\, Schubert varieties are tied to the study of Tamari Lat
 tices. These lattices correspond to exchange graphs of some cluster algebr
 a. Therefore\, at the end of the school\, participants will be able to ref
 lect on many representation theory problems using multiple aspects.  Final
 ly\, our goal is to promote the visibility and accomplishment of women in 
 mathematics. Even though the school is open to people of all genders\, onl
 y women were invited to give lectures and talks. It seems important to us 
 to give the occasion to students to interact accomplished women in mathema
 tics\, since they are underrepresented among teachers in mathematics in un
 iversities.\n

 a Gillespie (Colorado State University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM
 \n\n\nAbstract\nWe give new combinatorial interpretations of the multidegr
 ees of an embedding of M_{0\,n+3}-bar into the product of projective space
 s P^1 x P^2 x \n x P^n\, where M_{0\,n}-bar refers to the moduli space of 
 stable genus 0 curves with n marked points. Our first interpretation\, due
  to join work with Cavalieri and Monin\, is in terms of a new class of par
 king functions. The second\, in joint work with Griffin and Levinson\, is 
 a new\, more geometrically natural interpretation that we call « lazy tou
 rnaments » on trivalent trees. We show how these interpretations can be u
 sed to prove that the total degree of the embedding is the odd double fact
 orial (2n-1)!!\, as well as identifying canonical choices of limiting hype
 rplanes that intersect with the embedding in the correct number of distinc
 t boundary points for each multidegree.\n

 MIT) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe 1/3-2/3 Conject
 ure\, originally formulated in 1968\, is one of the best-known open proble
 ms in the theory of posets\, stating that the balance constant of any non-
 total order is at least 1/3. By reinterpreting balance constants of posets
  in terms of convex subsets of the symmetric group\, we extend the study o
 f balance constants to convex subsets C of any Coxeter group. Remarkably\,
  we conjecture that the lower bound of 1/3 still applies in any finite Cox
 eter group\, with new and interesting equality cases appearing.We generali
 ze several of the main results towards the 1/3-2/3 Conjecture to this new 
 setting: we prove our conjecture when C is a weak order interval below a f
 ully commutative element in any acyclic Coxeter group (a generalization of
  the case of width-two posets)\, we give a uniform lower bound for balance
  constants in all finite Weyl groups using a new generalization of order p
 olytopes to this context\, and we introduce generalized semiorders for whi
 ch we resolve the conjecture.We hope this new perspective may shed light o
 n the proper level of generality in which to consider the 1/3-2/3 Conjectu
 re\, and therefore on which methods are likely to be successful in resolvi
 ng it. This is joint work with Yibo Gao.\n

 Université de Minnesota) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract
 \nGeometric vertex decomposition and liaison are two frameworks that have 
 been used to produce similar results about similar families of algebraic v
 arieties.  In this talk\, we will describe an explicit connection between 
 these approaches.  In particular\, we describe how each geometrically vert
 ex decomposable ideal is linked by a sequence of elementary G-biliaisons o
 f height 1 to an ideal of indeterminates and\, conversely\, how every G-bi
 liaison of a certain type gives rise to a geometric vertex decomposition. 
  As a consequence\, we can immediately conclude that several well-known fa
 milies of ideals are glicci\, including Schubert determinantal ideals\, de
 fining ideals of varieties of complexes\, and defining ideals of graded lo
 wer bound cluster algebras.  This connection also gives us a framework for
  implementing with relative ease Gorla\, Migliore\, and Nagels strategy 
 of using liaison to establish Gr\\ »obner bases.  We describe briefly\, a
 s an application of this work\, a proof of a recent conjecture of Hamaker\
 , Pechenik\, and Weigandt on diagonal Gr\\ »obner bases of Schubert deter
 minantal ideals.  This talk is based on joint work with Jenna Rajchgot.\n

  part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nEternal domination in a gr
 aph is a dynamic process which protects a graph from an infinite sequence 
 of vertex attacks.  In eternal $k$-domination\, a set of guards seeks to p
 rotect the graph using a distance $k$ dominating set.  There is an attack 
 that occurs and the guards move positions up to distance $k$\, to cover th
 e attacked vertex\, subsequently another attack occurs and they must move 
 from their present positions.  The minimum size of a set such that the gra
 ph can be protected from attacks indefinitely is called the eternal $k$ do
 mination number of the graph\, denoted $\\gamma_{all\,k}^{\\infty}(G)$.  I
 n this talk\, we will focus on the case where $k=2$\, and detail the resul
 t for the case of perfect $m$-ary trees of depth $d$\, $T$:  $$\\gamma_{al
 l\, 2}^{\\infty}(T)=1+\\frac{m^d-1}{m^2-1}$$  In general\, the computation
  of this parameter is not known for most graphs\, and determining if a set
  is an eternal $k$-dominating set is a difficult problem.  Other results w
 ill be discussed\, and open problems towards a reduction on trees will be 
 presented.\n

 topological information is to decompose the persistence module into a dire

 n though such a decomposition is guaranteed to exist and be unique\, this 
 approach is not always feasible. We will then discuss an alternative way t
 o study persistence modules\, namely through the so-called rank invariant.
  Time permitting\, we will conclude by discussing some recent results abou

 Steven Karp (UQAM) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe t
 otally positive flag variety is the subset of the complete flag variety Fl
 (n) where all Plücker coordinates are positive. By viewing a complete fla
 g as a sequence of subspaces of polynomials of degree at most n-1\, we can
  associate a sequence of Wronskian polynomials to it. I will present a new
  characterization of the totally positive flag variety in terms of Wronski
 ans\, and explain how it sheds light on conjectures in the real Schubert c
 alculus of Grassmannians. In particular\, a conjecture of Eremenko (2015) 
 is equivalent to the following conjecture: if V is a finite-dimensional su
 bspace of polynomials such that all complex zeros of the Wronskian of V ar
 e real and negative\, then all Plücker coordinates of V are positive. Thi
 s conjecture is a totally positive strengthening of a result of Mukhin\, T
 arasov\, and Varchenko (2009)\, and can be reformulated as saying that all
  complex solutions to a certain family of Schubert problems in the Grassma
 nnian are real and totally positive.\n

 Pour le dire simplement\, le principe dexclusion de Pauli est la raison 
 pour laquelle nous ne pouvons pas passer à travers les murs sans se faire
  mal. \nPauli gagna le prix Nobel de physique en 1945 pour la formulation 
 de ce principe. \nCe principe reçut quelques années plus tard une formul
 ation géométrique qui reste encore méconnue aujourdhui. \nCette formu
 lation fait appel aux valeurs propres de certaines matrices (qui représen
 tent un système de particules élémentaires\, par exemple des électrons
 ) et ces valeurs propres forment un polytope symétrique: un hypersimplex.
  \nPour représenter des systèmes de particules ayant une température no
 n-nulle\, il est nécessaire de généraliser lhypersimplex pour obtenir
  ce quon appelle des « polytopes dalignement ».Ces polytopes se déf
 inissent à laide de notions classiques de combinatoire et de géométri
 e discrète. \nEn plus de généraliser les permutoèdres de façon nature
 lle\, ces polytopes produisent des nouveaux principes dexclusions en phy
 sique qui raffinent celui de Pauli. \nDurant cette exposé\, nous verrons 
 lhistoire derrière lintroduction de ces polytopes et donnerons une pr
 ésentation de leurs principales propriétés. \nCe travail est une collab

 el Bergeron (York University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbst
 ract\nIl y a quelques années\, avec François et Jean-Christophe Aval\, n
 ous avions étudié le quotient de lanneau des polynômes en n variables
  (commutatives) par lidéal engendré par les polynômes quasisymétriqu
 es. Nous avions obtenu comme joli résultat que la dimension de ce quotien
 t est donnée par le nombre de Catalan C_n. Par la suite\, nous avions ét
 endu notre étude au cas des polynômes quasisymétriques diagonaux (en de
 ux jeux de variables commutatives) et proposé une conjecture élégante 
 à propos de la série de Hilbert bigraduée du quotient associée. Cette 
 conjecture nest dailleurs toujours pas résolue. \n \nRécemment\, not
 re groupe de recherche à linstitut Fields a amorcé lextension de ce 
 type de problématique au contexte de variables «anticommutatives». Mike
  Zabrocki y a énoncé une conjecture affirmant que le quotient des polyn
 ômes en deux jeux de variables (l'un commutatif et l'autre anticommutatif
 ) par lidéal des fonctions diagonalement symétriques admet une descrip
 tion en termes de compositions densembles. Il vaut la peine de souligner
  que\, si on ajoute un second jeu de variables commutatives (pour avoir al
 ors trois jeux de variables)\, létude de l'espace quotient résultant d
 evient liée à la fameuse conjecture delta. Tout ceci est fascinant\, mai
 s beaucoup plus difficile à démontrer quil nous semblait au départ\, 
 et demeure donc non-résolu pour l'instant. \n \nJe vais dabord présent
 er le résultat que nous avons obtenu pour le cas des polynômes quasisym
 étriques avec un seul jeu de n variables anticommutatives. Je soulignerai
  ensuite à quel point la structure de lidéal concerné est plus intrig
 ante que celle correspondant au cas symétrique. Puis je montrerai comment
  la description du quotient est très jolie. Enfin\, je discuterai du cas 
 «SuperQSym» de deux jeux de variables (l'un commutatif et l'autre antico
 mmutatif). \n \nCe travail en cours est en collaboration avec Kelvin Chan\
 , Yohana Solomon\, Farhad Soltani et Mike Zabrocki\; tous du groupe de com
 binatoire algébrique au Fields.\n

 suites automatiques ne sont pas des suites pseudo-aléatoires car elles on
 t une complexité en sous-mots et une complexité dexpansion trop faible
 s ainsi quune corrélation dordre 2 trop grande.  Ces suites sont alor
 s trop prévisibles malgré quelle possèdent une complexité dordre m
 aximal grande.  Cependant\, de récents résultats suggèrent que des sous
 -suites polynomiales de certaines suites automatiques\, comme la suite de 
 ThueMorse\, sont de meilleurs candidats pour être des suites pseudo-al
 éatoires.  Une généralisation naturelle des suites automatiques sont le
 s suite morphiques\, données par le point fixe dun morphisme prolongeab

 CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nMany classical constructions with s
 emistandard Young tableaux can be described by formulas consisting of the 
 operations of addition\, subtraction\, and taking the minimum of several n
 umbers. By de-tropicalizing these formulasthat is\, by replacing the ope
 rations min\,+\,- with addition\, multiplication\, and divisionone obtai
 ns subtraction-free rational maps with remarkable properties. \n \nIn this
  talk\, we consider de-tropicalizations of several families of combinatori
 al maps connected to the representation theory of GL_n\, namely\, crystal 
 operators and combinatorial R-matrices. We study the invariants of various
  subsets of these maps\, and describe (conjectural) generating sets in eac
 h case. We view these invariants as crystal-theoretic analogues of the inv
 ariants of various combinations of SL_m\, SL_n\, S_m\, and S_n acting on a
  polynomial ring in an m times n matrix of variables. \n \nThis is based o
 n joint work with Ben Brubaker\, Pavlo Pylyavskyy\, and Travis Scrimshaw.\

 tract\nThe Eulerian idempotents of the symmetric group generate a family o
 f representationsthe Eulerian representationsthat have connections to 
 configuration spaces\, equivariant cohomology\, and Solomons descent alg
 ebra. These representations are defined in terms of S_n\, but can be lif

  I will describe this story in detail and present recent work generalizing
  it to the hyperoctahedral group (e.g. Type B). In this setting\, configur
 ation spaces will be replaced by certain orbit configuration spaces and So
 lomons descent algebra is replaced by the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra. Al

 l in the theory of modified Macdonald polynomials. Theta operators were re
 cently used to give and prove the compositional version of the Delta Conje
 cture\; and they also conjecturally give a symmetric function description 
 for the $S_n$ coinvariants in the polynomial ring with two commuting and t
 wo anti-commuting sets of variables. We will start by introducing some of 
 these important conjectures and theorems. \n \nWe will then give a new com
 binatorial model for describing general applications of Delta and Theta op
 erators when $t=1$ in terms of what we call $\\gamma$-Parking Functions. W
 e will end by highlighting a few of the important methods used in proving 
 this result\, one of which is an application of the combinatorial formula 
 for the forgotten symmetric functions.\n

 Eulerian polynomial $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$ of a central hyperplane Arrangemen
 t $\\mathcal{A}$. It is a reparametrization of the cocharacteristic polyno
 mial of the arrangement. Previous work (2021) implicitly showed that this 
 polynomial has nonnegative coefficients in the simplicial case. If $\\math
 cal{A}$ is the arrangement corresponding to a Coxeter group $W$ of type A 
 or B\, then $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$ is the generating function for the (flag)e
 xcedance statistic on a particular subset of $W$. No interpretation was fo
 und for reflection arrangements of type D. \n \nWe present an alternative 
 geometric and combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of $P_\\ma
 thcal{A}(z)$ for all simplicial arrangements $\\mathcal{A}$. For reflectio
 n arrangements of types A\, B\, and D\, we find recursive formulas that mi
 rror those for the Eulerian polynomial of the corresponding type. We also 
 present real-rootedness results and conjectures for $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$. T
