Principal $Γ$-cone for a tree

Abstract

Each orientation on a Dynkin graph $Γ$ defines a cone (in a certain real configuration space) which is further divided into chambers. We enumerate the number of chambers for two particular cones, which are called the pricipal $Γ$-cones and are attached to bipartite decompositions of $Γ$, by a use of hook length formulae. We prove that these pricipal cones are characterized by the maximality of the number of chambers in them.
