The lowest two-sided cell of the extended affine Weyl group $W_e$ is the set $\{w \in W_e: w = x \cdot w_0 \cdot z, \text{for some} x,z \in W_e\}$, denoted $W_{(\nu)}$. We prove that for any $w \in W_{(\nu)}$, the canonical basis element…

In this note, we characterize affine and non-affine Coxeter systems among all Coxeter systems in terms of the structure of their reflection orders. For an infinite irreducible system $(W,S)$, we show that affineness can be characterized in…

Many (if not most) of convex polytopes, important for combinatorial and algebraic geometry, are closely related to secondary polytopes of point configurations, or base polytopes of submodular functions, or their numerous variations and…

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.…

By Tits' deformation argument, a generic Iwahori--Hecke algebra $H$ associated to a finite Coxeter group $W$ is abstractly isomorphic to the group algebra of $W$. Lusztig has shown how one can construct an explicit isomorphism, provided…

The Jacobi system on a full-line lattice is considered when it contains additional weight factors. A factorization formula is derived expressing the scattering from such a generalized Jacobi system in terms of the scattering from its…

We study the PBW filtration on irreducible finite--dimensional representations for the Lie algebra of type $\tt B_n$. We prove in several cases, including all multiples of the adjoint representation and all irreducible finite--dimensional…

Let $\varPhi$ be a root system of a finite Weyl group $W$ with simple roots $\Delta$ and corresponding simple reflections $S$. For $J \subseteq S$, denote by $W_J$ the standard parabolic subgroup of $W$ generated by $J$, and by $\Delta_J…

In a finite real reflection group, the reflection length of each element is equal to the codimension of its fixed space, and the two coincident functions determine a partial order structure called the absolute order. In complex reflection…

We study the intersection lattice of the arrangement $\mathcal{A}^G$ of subspaces fixed by subgroups of a finite linear group $G$. When $G$ is a reflection group, this arrangement is precisely the hyperplane reflection arrangement of $G$.…

The excess of an element $w$ of a finite Coxeter group $W$ is the minimal value of $l(x) + l(y) - l(w)$, where $x$, $y$ are elements of $W$ such that $x^2 = y^2 = 1$ and $w = xy$. Every element of a finite Coxeter group is either an…

We prove that if $M$ is a CW-complex, then the homotopy type of the skeletal filtration of $M$ does not depend on the cell decomposition of $M$ up to wedge products with $n$-disks $D^n$, when the later are given their natural…

Let $W$ be a rank $n$ irreducible finite reflection group and let $p_1(x),\ldots,p_n(x)$, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, be a basis of algebraically independent $W$-invariant real homogeneous polynomials. The orbit map $\overline…

We determine a fundamental domain for the diagonal action of a finite Coxeter group $W$ on $V^{\oplus n}$, where $V$ is the reflection representation. This is used to give a stratification of $V^{\oplus n}$, which is respected by the group…

We define and study generalized nil-Coxeter algebras associated to Coxeter groups. Motivated by a question of Coxeter (1957), we construct the first examples of such finite-dimensional algebras that are not the 'usual' nil-Coxeter algebras:…

We study divergence and thickness for general Coxeter groups $W$. We first characterise linear divergence, and show that if $W$ has superlinear divergence then its divergence is at least quadratic. We then formulate a computable…

We present a systematic formalism based on a factorization theorem in soft-collinear effective theory to describe non-global observables at hadron colliders, such as gap-between-jets cross sections. The cross sections are factorized into…

It is a classical fact in Poisson geometry that the cotangent bundle of a Poisson manifold has the structure of a Lie algebroid. Manifestations of this structure are the Lichnerowicz differential on multivector fields (calculating Poisson…

We show that in the complex reflection group $G_6$, reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element that have the same length and multiset of conjugacy classes are in the same Hurwitz orbit. This confirms one case of a conjecture of Lewis…

Let $\rho\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ be an continuous irreducible representation of a compact group over a complete discretely valued field $K$. Let $W_i,W_j$ be two irreducible subrepresentations of $\overline{\rho}^{ss}$, the…
