Abstract

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system, let φ\varphi be a weight function on SS and let Cact_W{\mathrm{Cact}}\_W denote the associated {\it cactus group}. Following an idea of I. Losev, we construct an action of Cact_W×Cact_W{\mathrm{Cact}}\_W \times {\mathrm{Cact}}\_W on WW which has nice properties with respect to the partition of WW into left, right or two-sided cells (under some hypothesis, which hold for instance if φ\varphi is constant or if WW is finite of rank \textless5\textless{} 5). It must be noticed that the action depends heavily on φ\varphi.
