Abstract
Let be a Coxeter system, and let be a subset of . The subgroup of generated by is denoted by and is called a parabolic subgroup. We give the precise definition of the commensurator of a subgroup in a group. In particular, the commensurator of in is the subgroup of in such that has finite index in both and . The subgroup can be decomposed in the form where is finite and all the irreducible components of " > are infinite. Let be the set of in such that " > for all . We prove that the commensurator of is . In particular, the commensurator of a parabolic subgroup is a parabolic subgroup, and is its own commensurator if and only if .
