Abstract
We describe the geometry of conjugation within any split subgroup of the full isometry group of -dimensional Euclidean space. We prove that for any , the conjugacy class of is described geometrically by the move-set of its linearization, while the set of elements conjugating to a given is described by the the fix-set of its linearization. Examples include all affine Coxeter groups, certain crystallographic groups, and the group itself.
