Let W be an infinite irreducible Coxeter group with (s_1, ..., s_n) the simple generators. We give a simple proof that the word s_1 s_2 ... s_n s_1 s_2 >... s_n ... s_1 s_2 ... s_n is reduced for any number of repetitions of s_1 s_2 >...…

Symmetry groups allow to transform solutions of differential equations continuously into other solutions. This property can be used for the observability analysis of infinite-dimensional systems with input and output. In this contribution,…

Let $d \geq 2$ be an integer. We conjecture that there is a finitely generated perfect group whose homomorphic images include all finite $d$-generated perfect groups. We prove a special case of this conjecture for the finite perfect groups…

We enumerate traceless square matrices over finite quotients of compact discrete valuation rings by their image sizes. We express the associated rational generating functions in terms of statistics on symmetric and hyperoctahedral groups,…

Coxeter groups are a special class of groups generated by involutions. They play important roles in the various areas of mathematics. This survey particularly focuses on how one uses Coxeter groups to construct interesting examples of…

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…

A group is SimpHAtic if it acts geometrically on a simply connected simplicially hereditarily aspherical (SimpHAtic) complex. We show that finitely presented normal subgroups of the SimpHAtic groups are either: finite, or of finite index,…

We provide a complete description of the presentations of the interval groups related to quasi-Coxeter elements in finite Coxeter groups. In the simply laced cases, we show that each interval group is the quotient of the Artin group…

We study model geometries of finitely generated groups. If a finitely generated group does not contain a non-trivial finite rank free abelian commensurated subgroup, we show any model geometry is dominated by either a symmetric space of…

Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…

We generalize some identities and q-identities previously known for the symmetric group to Coxeter groups of type B and D. The extended results include theorems of Foata and Sch\"utzenberger, Gessel, and Roselle on various distributions of…

We developed computer algebra tools for enumerating conjugacy classes of independent subsets and generating sets of symmetric groups up to $n=7$, and carried out an initial analysis of the obtained results.

We study natural linear representations of self-similar groups over finite fields. In particular, we show that if the group is generated by a finite automaton, then obtained matrices are automatic. This shows a new relation between two…

Folding subgroups give a way to realize non-simply-laced Coxeter groups as subgroups of simply-laced Coxeter groups. In this paper, we study how folding subgroups of finite and affine type are distributed length-wise by calculating the…

We study Coxeter diagrams of some unitary reflection groups. Using solely the combinatorics of diagrams, we give a new proof of the classification of root lattices defined over $\cE = \ZZ[e^{2 \pi i/3}]$: there are only four such lattices,…

We classify a class of complex representations of an arbitrary Coxeter group via characters of the integral homology of certain graphs. Such representations can be viewed as a generalization of the geometric representation and correspond to…

We give formulas for the second and third integral homology of an arbitrary finitely generated Coxeter group, solely in terms of the corresponding Coxeter diagram. The first of these calculations refines a theorem of Howlett, while the…

We exhibit explicit infinite families of finitely presented, Kazhdan, simple groups that are pairwise not measure equivalent. These groups are lattices acting on products of buildings. We obtain the result by studying vanishing and…

If S and S' are two finite sets of Coxeter generators for a right-angled Coxeter group W, then the Coxeter systems (W,S) and (W,S') are equivalent.

Cactus groups are traditionally defined based on symmetric groups, and pure cactus groups are particular subgroups of cactus groups. Mostovoy showed that pure cactus groups embed into right-angled Coxeter groups. We generalize this result…
