Orbits of the Weyl reflection groups attached to the simple Lie groups $A_2, C_2, G_2$ and Coxeter group $H_2$ are considered. For each of the groups products of any two orbits are decomposed into the union of the orbits. Results are…

For a Coxeter group (W,S), a permutation of the set S is called a Coxeter word and the group element represented by the product is called a Coxeter element. Moving the first letter to the end of the word is called a rotation and two Coxeter…

Several finite complex reflection groups have a braid group which is isomorphic to a torus knot group. The reflection group is obtained from the torus knot group by declaring meridians to have order $k$ for some $k\geq 2$, and meridians are…

In this work we study representations of certain Coxeter groups to obtain some properties of the corresponding reflection groups.

When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group $\Gamma$ is reduced modulo an odd prime $p$, a finite representation in some orthogonal space over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is obtained. If $\Gamma$ has a string diagram, the latter…

In one of his papers on the weak order of Coxeter groups, Dyer formulates several conjectures. Among these, one affirms that the extended weak order forms a lattice, while another offers an algebraic-geometric description of the join of two…

Petersen and Tenner defined the depth statistic for Coxeter group elements which, in the symmetric group, can be described in terms of a cost function on transpositions. We generalize that cost function to the other classical (finite and…

We extend the usual notion of fully commutative elements from the Coxeter groups to the complex reflection groups. Then we decompose the sets of fully commutative elements into natural subsets according to their combinatorial properties,…

We give a geometric proof that minimal length elements in a (twisted) conjugacy class of a finite Coxeter group $W$ have remarkable properties with respect to conjugation, taking powers in the associated Braid group and taking centralizer…

Affine Coxeter groups are fundamental objects in mathematics and in crystallography. If two group elements are conjugate, then they have very similar algebraic and geometric properties. Using recent structural results of Mili\'cevi\'c,…

Real physical systems with reflective and rotational symmetries such as viruses, fullerenes and quasicrystals have recently been modeled successfully in terms of three-dimensional (affine) Coxeter groups. Motivated by this progress, we…

For every dimension d, there is an infinite family of convex co-compact reflection groups of isometries of hyperbolic d-space --- the superideal (simplicial and cubical) reflection groups --- with the property that a random group at any…

We investigate representations of Coxeter groups into $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ as geometric reflection groups which are convex cocompact in the projective space $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We characterize which Coxeter groups admit such…

In the combinatorics of finite finite Coxeter groups, there is a simple formula giving the number of maximal chains of noncrossing partitions. It is a reinterpretation of a result by Deligne which is due to Chapoton, and the goal of this…

To any finite graph $X$ (viewed as a topological space) we assosiate some explicit compact metric space ${\cal X}^r(X)$ which we call {\it the reflection tree of graphs $X$}. This space is of topological dimension $\le1$ and its connected…

Let W be an arbitrary Coxeter group of simply-laced type (possibly infinite but of finite rank), u,v be any two elements in W, and i be a reduced word (of length m) for the pair (u,v) in the Coxeter group W\times W. We associate to i a…

We study normal reflection subgroups of complex reflection groups. Our approach leads to a refinement of a theorem of Orlik and Solomon to the effect that the generating function for fixed-space dimension over a reflection group is a…

There is a well-known classification of conjugacy classes of involutions in finite Coxeter groups, in terms of subsets of nodes of their Coxeter graphs. In many cases, the product of an involution with the longest element is again an…

Using a variant of an unpublished argument due to Agol, we show that an irreducible right-angled Coxeter group on ${n \geq 3}$ vertices embeds as a thin subgroup of a uniform arithmetic lattice in an indefinite orthogonal group…

We investigate the so-called dual Matsumoto property or Hurwitz action in finite, affine and arbitrary Coxeter groups. In particular, we want to investigate how to reduce reflection factorizations and how two reflection factorizations of…
