Let W be a Coxeter group with degrees dl .... ,dn. Solomon (1966) uses an inductive argument on the rank of W to prove the formula where #(w) denotes the minimum number of simple reflections required to express w. We provide a new proof of this fact using the theory of orbit harmonics developed in

Let M = M(E) be a matroid on a linear ordered set E. The Orlik-Solomon Z-algebra OS(M) of M is the free exterior Z-algebra on E, modulo the ideal generated by the circuit boundaries. The Z-module OS(M) has a canonical basis called 'no broken circuit basis' and denoted nbc. Let e X = e i , e i β X β
Using the decomposition principle in groups of coalgebra morphisms we give a simple proof of a theorem of H. J. Baues related to an identity of Zassenhaus in algebras of prime characteristic p > 0. The authors of [2] did not relate their method to the original identity of Zassenhaus ([3, Β§6]) in al
