A Description of the Minimal Elements of Shi Regions in Classical Weyl Groups

Abstract. In this extended abstract, we show how a bijection between parking functions and regions of the Shi arrangement from Athanasiadis and Linusson (in type An) and Armstrong, Reiner, and Rhoades (in type Bn, Cn, Dn) allows for the computation of the minimal elements of the Shi regions. This gives a combinatorial interpretation of these minimal elements: they can be seen as counting non-crossing arcs in non-nesting arc diagrams.
