Reflection length and codimension of fixed point spaces induce partial orders on a complex reflection group. While these partial orders are of independent combinatorial interest, our investigation is motivated by a connection between the…

Assuming standard conjectures, we show that the canonical symmetrizing trace evaluated at powers of a Coxeter element produces rational Catalan numbers for irreducible spetsial complex reflection groups. This extends a technique used by…

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…

Let L be a lattice admitting a left-modular chain of length r, not necessarily maximal. We show that if either L is graded or the chain is modular, then the (r-2)-skeleton of L is vertex-decomposable (hence shellable). This proves a…

We prove that the restriction of Bruhat order to noncrossing partitions in type $A_n$ for the Coxeter element $c=s_1s_2 ...s_n$ forms a distributive lattice isomorphic to the order ideals of the root poset ordered by inclusion. Motivated by…

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…

In any Coxeter group, the conjugates of elements in the standard minimal generating set are called reflections and the minimal number of reflections needed to factor a particular element is called its reflection length. In this article we…

We give an elementary, case-free, Coxeter-theoretic derivation of the formula $h^nn!/|W|$ for the number of maximal chains in the noncrossing partition lattice $NC(W)$ of a real reflection group $W$. Our proof proceeds by comparing the…

We show that the Coxeter-sortable elements in a finite Coxeter group W are the minimal congruence-class representatives of a lattice congruence of the weak order on W. We identify this congruence as the Cambrian congruence on W, so that the…

We situate the noncrossing partitions associated to a finite Coxeter group within the context of the representation theory of quivers. We describe Reading's bijection between noncrossing partitions and clusters in this context, and show…

In this paper, we give a class of reflection rigid Coxeter systems. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. Suppose that (1) for each $s,t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd, $\{s,t\}$ is a maximal spherical subset of $S$, (2) there does not exist a…

The lattice of intersections of reflecting hyperplanes of a complex reflection group W may be considered as the poset of 1-eigenspaces of the elements of W. In this paper we replace 1 with an arbitrary eigenvalue and study the topology and…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…

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…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and $\Gamma$ be a group of automorphisms of $W$ such that $\gamma(S)=S$ for all $\gamma \in \Gamma$. Then it is known that the group of fixed points $W^\Gamma$ is again a Coxeter group with a canonically…

Let A = (A,V) be a complex hyperplane arrangement and let L(A) denote its intersection lattice. The arrangement A is called supersolvable, provided its lattice L(A) is supersolvable. For X in L(A), it is known that the restriction A^X is…

We introduce two order relations on finite Coxeter groups which refine the absolute and the Bruhat order, and establish some of their main properties. In particular we study the restriction of these orders to noncrossing partitions and show…
