We study the asymptotic behaviour of random factorizations of the $n$-cycle into transpositions of fixed genus $g>0$. They have a geometric interpretation as branched covers of the sphere and their enumeration as Hurwitz numbers was…

This article is a continuation of the article with the same title (see arXiv:1003.2953v1). Let {\rm $\text{HUR}_{d,t}^{G}(\mathbb P^1)$} be the Hurwitz space of degree $d$ coverings of the projective line $\mathbb P^1$ with Galois group…

Suppose that W is a finite, unitary, reflection group acting on the complex vector space V and X is a subspace of V. Define N to be the setwise stabilizer of X in W, Z to be the pointwise stabilizer, and C=N/Z. Then restriction defines a…

Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified ramification data, or equivalently, transitive permutation factorizations in the symmetric group with specified cycle types. Monotone Hurwitz numbers count a…

In this paper we prove certain Hurwitz equivalence properties of $B_n$. In particular we prove that for $n=3$ every two Artin's factorizations of $\Delta _3 ^2$ of the form $H_{i_1} ... H_{i_6}, \quad F_{j_1} ... F_{j_6}$ (with $i_k, j_k…

We provide the localization procedure for monoidal categories by a real commuting family of braiders. For an element $w$ of the Weyl group, $\mathscr{C}_w$ is a subcategory of modules over quiver Hecke algebra which categorifies the quantum…

This manuscript studies a special case of the Hurwitz enumeration problem: for branched covers from genus g compact Riemann surface to the Riemann sphere, with three branch points, and require the branching data at one of the branch points…

In this paper we prove certain Hurwitz equivalence properties in $B_n$. Our main result is that every two Artin's factorizations of $\Delta_n ^2$ of the form $H_{i_1} ... H_{i_{n(n-1)}}, \quad F_{j_1} ... F_{j_{n(n-1)}}$ (with $i_k, j_k \in…

The problem of counting ramified covers of a Riemann surface up to homeomorphism was proposed by Hurwitz in the late 1800's. This problem translates combinatorially into factoring a permutation of specified cycle type, with certain…

We attach to every Coxeter system (W,S) an extension C_W of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We construct a 1-parameter family of (generically surjective) morphisms from the group algebra of the corresponding Artin group onto C_W.…

This paper aims to generalize Artin's ideas to establish an one-to-one correspondence between the orbit braid group $B^{orb}_n(\mathbb{C},\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and a quotient of a group formed by some particular homeomorphisms of a punctured…

We develop the relationship between minimal transitive star factorizations and noncrossing partitions. This gives a new combinatorial proof of a result by Irving and Rattan, and a specialization of a result of Kreweras. It also arises in a…

In this note, we give a new proof of a result of Matthew Dyer stating that in an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$, every pair $t,t'$ of distinct reflections lie in a unique maximal dihedral reflection subgroup of $W$. Our proof only relies on…

For W a finite (2-)reflection group and B its (generalized) braid group, we determine the Zariski closure of the image of B inside the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. The Lie algebra of this closure is reductive and generated in the…

Let $\bH$ be the generic Iwahori--Hecke algebra associated with a finite Coxeter group $W$. Recently, we have shown that $\bH$ admits a natural cellular basis in the sense of Graham--Lehrer, provided that $W$ is a Weyl group and all…

Given a Coxeter system with a fixed Coxeter element, there is a surjective group morphism $\Psi$ from the standard to the dual Artin groups. We give conditions that are sufficient, necessary or equivalent to $\Psi$ being an isomorphism. In…

Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of equal characteristic $p>0$. Given a $\mathbb{Z}/p$-Galois cover of a formal disc over $R$, one can derive from it a semi-stable model for which the specializations of branch points are…

In a series of previous papers, we studied sortable elements in finite Coxeter groups, and the related Cambrian fans. We applied sortable elements and Cambrian fans to the study of cluster algebras of finite type and the noncrossing…

The finite orbits of the braid group action on Stokes matrices are studied and are shown to be the orbits on ordered sets of reflections, generating finite groups. All invariants of a reflection arrangement are determined. Determination of…

Let W be a Coxeter group. In this paper, we establish that, up to going to some finite index normal subgroup W_0 of W, any two cyclically reduced expressions of conjugate elements of W_0 only differ by a sequence of braid relations and…
