Abstract
Let be an irreducible (possibly noncrystallographic) root system of rank of type P. For the corresponding cluster complex , which is known as pure -dimensional simplicial complex, we define the generating function of the number of faces of with dimension , which is called -polynomial. We show that the -polynomial has exactly simple real zeros on the interval and the smallest root for the infinite series of type , and monotone decreasingly converges to zero as the rank tends to infinity. We also consider the generating function (called the -polynomial) of the number of faces of the positive part of the complex with dimension , whose zeros are real and simple and are located in the interval , including a simple root at . We show that the roots in decreasing order of -polynomial alternate with the roots in decreasing order of -polynomial.
