Consider a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in $\mathbb R^d$. The hyperplanes dissect $\mathbb R^d$ into finitely many polyhedral chambers. For a point $x\in \mathbb R^d$ and a chamber $P$ the metric projection of $x$ onto $P$ is the…

For any crystallographic root system, let $W$ be the associated Weyl group, and let $\mathit{WP}$ be the weight polytope (also known as the $W$-permutohedron) associated with an arbitrary strongly dominant weight. The action of $W$ on…

Given a Coxeter system (W,S) equipped with an involutive automorphism T, the set of twisted identities is i(T) = {T(w)^{-1}w : w \in W}. We point out how i(T) shows up in several contexts and prove that if there is no s \in S such that…

Suppose that A is a C*-algebra for which A is isomorphic to A tensor Z, where Z is the Jiang-Su algebra: a unital, simple, stably finite, separable, nuclear, infinite dimensional C*-algebra with the same Elliott invariant as the complex…

Let $p:E -> B$ be a principal fibration with classifying map $w:B -> C$. It is well-known that the group $[X,\Omega C]$ acts on $[X,E]$ with orbit space the image of $p_#$, where $p_#: [X,E] -> [X,B]$. The isotropy subgroup of the map of…

Let G be a complete Kac-Moody group of rank n \geq 2 over the finite field of order q, with Weyl group W and building \Delta. We first show that if W is right-angled, then for all q \neq 1 mod 4 the group G admits a cocompact lattice \Gamma…

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group. For a given $w \in W$, the following assertion may or may not be satisfied: (*) The principal Bruhat order ideal of $w$ contains as many elements as there are regions in the inversion hyperplane…

The absolute order is a natural partial order on a Coxeter group W. It can be viewed as an analogue of the weak order on W in which the role of the generating set of simple reflections in W is played by the set of all reflections in W. By…

We define and study large and stably large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras. The basic example is the orbit breaking subalgebra of a crossed product by Z, as follows. Let X be an infinite compact metric space, let h be a minimal…

In this paper, we show that the center of every Coxeter group is finite and isomorphic to $(\Z_2)^n$ for some $n\ge 0$. Moreover, for a Coxeter system $(W,S)$, we prove that $Z(W)=Z(W_{S\setminus\tilde{S}})$ and $Z(W_{\tilde{S}})=1$, where…

We present the theorem which determines, by a permutation, the cardinal ordering of fixed points for any orbit of a period doubling cascade. The inverse permutation generates the orbit and the symbolic sequence of the orbit is obtained as a…

Let $\A$ be an irreducible Coxeter arrangement and $\bfk$ be a multiplicity of $\A$. We study the derivation module $D(\A, \bfk)$. Any two-dimensional irreducible Coxeter arrangement with even number of lines is decomposed into two orbits…

Suppose that W is a finite, unitary, reflection group acting on the complex vector space V. Let A = A(W) be the associated hyperplane arrangement of W. Terao has shown that each such reflection arrangement A is free. Let L(A) be the…

In a recent paper we claimed that both the group algebra of a finite Coxeter group $W$ as well as the Orlik-Solomon algebra of $W$ can be decomposed into a sum of induced one-dimensional representations of centralizers, one for each…

The notion of limit roots of a Coxeter group W was recently introduced (see arXiv:1112.5415 and arXiv:1303.6710): they are the accumulation points of directions of roots of a root system for W. In the case where the root system lives in a…

Consider an affine Coxeter group $W$ acting by isometries on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, and the arrangement of its reflection hyperplanes. The fundamental group of the complement $Y_W$ of the complexification of this arrangement in…

The permutation representation afforded by a Coxeter group W acting on the cosets of a standard parabolic subgroup inherits many nice properties from W such as a shellable Bruhat order and a flat deformation over Z[q] to a representation of…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a method to stabilize certain spaces of homomorphisms from finitely generated free abelian groups to a Lie group $G$, namely $Hom(\mathbb Z^n,G)$. We show that this stabilized space of…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and suppose that $w \in W$ is fully commutative (in the sense of Stembridge) and has a reduced expression beginning (respectively, ending) with $s \in S$. If there exists $t\in S$ such that $s$ and $t$ do not…

Let A be a unital maximal full algebra of operator fields with base space the k-cube [0,1]^k and fibre algebras, say, {A_t}_{t \in [0,1]^k}. Then the stable rank of A is bounded above by the supremum of the stable ranks sr(C([0,1]^k)…
