Let $x$ be an eigenvector for an element of a finite irreducible reflection group $W$. Let $W_x$ denote the subgroup of $W$ which stabilises $x$. We provide an upper bound for the number of roots in the root system of $W_x$ . This…

An element of a Coxeter group $W$ is called fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions can be related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. In the preprint "Fully commutative elements in finite and…

Let W be an irreducible finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation of W in GL(V) provides a discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the Tits form (the associated bilinear form of the Coxeter group). If the Tits…

Let G be a finite group, Irr(G) the set of all irreducible complex characters of G and X \in Irr(G). Let also cod(X) = |G : kerX|/X(1) and cod(G) = {cod(X) | X \in Irr(G)}. In this note, we show that the simple group PSL(2, q), for a prime…

In this article we introduce the notion of a \textit{regular partition} of a Coxeter group. We develop the theory of these partitions, and show that the class of regular partitions is essentially equivalent to the class of automata (not…

We extend the notion of proper elements to all Coxeter groups. For all infinite families of finite Coxeter groups we prove that the probability a random element is proper goes to zero in the limit. This proves a conjecture of the third…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and let $s \in S$. We call $s$ a right-angled generator of $(W,S)$ if $st = ts$ or $st$ has infinite order for each $t \in S$. We call $s$ an intrinsic reflection of $W$ if $s \in R^W$ for all Coxeter…

Let W be an infinite Coxeter group. We initiate the study of the set E of limit points of "normalized" positive roots (representing the directions of the roots) of W. We show that E is contained in the isotropic cone of the bilinear form B…

Let W be an irreducible, finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation provides an discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the so-called Tits form. One can look at the representation modulo the kernel of this form; we…

An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…

This paper is a sequel to work of Dynkin on subroot lattices of root lattices and to work of Carter on presentations of Weyl group elements as products of reflections. The quotients $L/L_1$ are calculated for all irreducible root lattices…

In this article, we establish some new combinatorial properties of cone types in Coxeter groups. Firstly, we show that for any element $x$ in a Coxeter group $W$ and root $\beta$ in its inversion set $\Phi(x)$, the set of elements $y \in W$…

Controlled topology is one of the main tools for proving the isomorphism conjecture concerning the algebraic $K$-theory of group rings. In this article we dive into this machinery in two examples: when the group is infinite cyclic and when…

Consider an irreducible finite Coxeter system. We show that for any nonnegative integer n the sum of the nth powers of the Coxeter exponents can be written uniformly as a polynomial in four parameters: h (the Coxeter number), r (the rank),…

We use probabilistic methods to prove that many Coxeter groups are incoherent. In particular, this holds for Coxeter groups of uniform exponent > 2 with sufficiently many generators.
