The characteristic quasi-polynomials of hyperplane arrangements with actions of finite groups

In this paper, we introduce an equivariant version of the characteristic quasi-polynomials as the permutation characters on the complement of mod q hyperplane arrangements. We prove that the permutation character is a quasi-polynomial in q, and show that it can be expressed by the sum of the induced characters of an equivariant version of the Ehrhart quasi-polynomials. Furthermore, we consider the case of the Coxeter arrangements, and compute in detail for type A_.
