Title
On Special Pieces in the Unipotent Variety.
Abstract
This article is the result of experiments performed using computer programs written in the CAP language. We describe an algorithm which computes a set of rational functions attached to a finite Coxeter group W. Conjecturally, these rational functions should be polynomials, and in the case where W is the Weyl group of a Chevalley group G defined over F-q, the values of our polynomials at q should give the number of F-q-rational points of Lusztig's special pieces in the unipotent variety of G. The algorithm even works for complex reflection groups. We give a number of examples which show, in particular, that our conjecture is true for all types except possibly B-n and D-n.
