Abstract

Let GG be a discrete Coxeter group, G+G^+ its alternating subgroup and G~+\tilde{G}^+ the spinor cover of G+G^+. A presentation of the groups G+G^+ and G~+\tilde{G}^+ is proved for an arbitrary Coxeter system (G,S)(G,S); the generators are related to edges of the Coxeter graph. Results of the Coxeter--Todd algorithm - with this presentation - for the chains of alternating groups of types A, B and D are given.
