P. Hanlon (J. Combin. Theory Ser. 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. 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

Let Gk(a, b) be the disjoint union of the graphs Gk(a, b; w), introduced
in [H], for all possible w. Recall that if
