Abstract

Let WaW_a be an affine Weyl group. In 1987 Jian Yi Shi gave a characterization of the elements wWaw \in W_a in terms of Φ+\Phi^+-tuples (k(w,α))αΦ+(k(w,\alpha))_{\alpha \in \Phi^+} called the Shi vectors. Using these coefficients, a formula is provided to compute the standard length of WaW_a. In this note we express the twisted affine length function of WaW_a in terms of the Shi coefficients.
