Abstract
P. Hanlon [J. Combin. Theory, series A 59 (1992), 218--239] has conjectured an
explicit formula for the eigenvalues of certain combinatorial matrices related to
the cohomology of nilpotent Lie algebras. Several special cases of this conjecture
are now established.
1 Introduction
Let G k (a; b) be the disjoint union of the graphs G k (a; b; w), introduced in [H], for all
possible w. Recall that if
