Garside structure for the braid group of G(e,e,r)

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give a new presentation of the braid group BB of the complex reflection group G(e,e,r)G(e,e,r) which is positive and homogeneous, and for which the generators map to reflections in the corresponding complex reflection group. We show that this presentation gives rise to a Garside structure for BB with Garside element a kind of generalised Coxeter element, and hence obtain solutions to the word and conjugacy problems for BB.
