Invariant theory and eigenspaces for unitary reflection groups
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 336 (2003) no. 10, pp. 795-800.

We prove some variations of formulas of Orlik and Solomon in the invariant theory of finite unitary reflection groups, and use them to give elementary and case-free proofs of some results of Lehrer and Springer, in particular that an integer is regular for a reflection group G if and only if it divides the same number of degrees and codegrees.

En utilisant des variantes d'une formule de Orlik et Solomon relative aux invariants d'un groupe de réflexions complexes G, nous redémontrons de façon élémentaire deux résultats de Lehrer and Springer, en particulier le fait qu'un entier est régulier pour G si et seulement si il divise le même nombre de degrés et de codegrés. Notre preuve évite l'analyse cas par cas.
