Combinatorics of Necklaces and “Hermite Reciprocity”

DOI: 10.1023/A:1018727630642

Abstract

Combinatorial proof of an explicit formula for dimensions of spaces of semi-invariants of regular representations of finite cyclic groups is obtained. Using bicolored necklaces, a certain reciprocity law following from this formula is also derived combinatorially.
