Abstract In this paper we study the spectral resolution of the Laplacian L of the Koszul complex of the Lie algebras corresponding to a certain class of posets. Given a poset P on the set 1 2 . ng we dehne the nilpotent Lie algebra Lp to be the span of all elementary matrices zxy such that x is less than y in P. In this paper we make a decisive step toward calculating the Lie algebra homology of Lp in the case that the Hasse diagram of P is a rooted tree. We show that the Laplacian L simplihes signihcantly when the Lie algebra corresponds to a poset whose Hasse diagram is a tree. The main result of this paper determines the spectral resolutions of three commuting linear operators whose sum is the Laplacian L of the Koszul complex of Lp in the case that the Hasse diagram is a rooted tree. We show that these eigenvalues are integers give a combinatorial indexing of these eigenvalues and describe the corresponding eigenspaces in representation-theoretic terms. The homology of Lp is represented by the nullspace of L so in future work these results should allow for the homology to be effectively computed.
