Abstract

Let WW denote a simply-laced Coxeter group with nn generators. We construct an nn-dimensional representation ϕ\phi of WW over the finite field F2F_2 of two elements. The action of ϕ(W)\phi(W) on F2nF_2^n by left multiplication is corresponding to a combinatorial structure extracted and generalized from Vogan diagrams. In each case W of types A, D and E, we determine the orbits of F2nF_2^n under the action of ϕ(W)\phi(W), and find that the kernel of ϕ\phi is the center Z(W)Z(W) of W.W.
