We investigate the compatibility of the set of fully commutative elements of a Coxeter group with the various types of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells using a canonical basis for a generalized version of the Temperley-Lieb algebra.

Recall that an element $x\in R$ is {\bf complemented} if there is a $y\in R$ such that $xy = 0$ and $x + y \in {\rm reg}(R)$. In a recent article [1], the authors investigated those rings for which every non-nilpotent element is…

Let $W^c(\tilde A_{n})$ be the set of fully commutative elements in the affine Coxeter group $W(\tilde A_{n})$ of type $\tilde{A}$. We classify the elements of $W^c(\tilde A_{n})$ and give a normal form for its elements. We give a first…

In this thesis, I present an associative diagram algebra that is a faithful representation of a particular Temperley--Lieb algebra of type affine $C$, which has a basis indexed by the fully commutative elements of the Coxeter group of the…

An element $g$ in a group $G$ is called reversible if $g$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ in $ G $. An element $g$ in $G$ is strongly reversible if $ g $ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ by an involution in $G$. The group of affine transformations of…

In this paper, we study affine Deligne--Lusztig varieties $X_w(b)$ when the finite part of the element $w$ in the Iwahori--Weyl group is a partial $\sigma$-Coxeter element. We show that such $w$ is a cordial element and $X_w(b) \neq…

For a finite Coxeter group $W$ and $w$ an element of $W$ the `excess' of $w$ is defined to be $e(w) = \min\{\ell(x) + \ell(y) - \ell(w) \; | \; w=xy, \; x^2 = y^2 = 1\}$ where $\ell$ is the length function on $W$. Here we investigate the…

Certain results on representations of quivers have analogs in the structure theory of general Coxeter groups. A fixed Coxeter element turns the Coxeter graph into an acyclic quiver, allowing for the definition of a preprojective root. A…

Let $W$ be a right-angled Coxeter group corresponding to a finite non-discrete graph $\mathcal{G}$ with at least $3$ vertices. Our main theorem says that $\mathcal{G}^c$ is connected if and only if for any infinite index quasiconvex…

We study $c$-preprojective roots for a Coxeter element $c$ of infinite Coxeter group $W$. In particular, we consider the case when any positive root is $c$-preprojective for some Coxeter element $c$. In this paper, by assuming that the…

Let $G$ be a residually finite group and let $A$ be a finite set. We prove that if $X \subset A^G$ is a strongly irreducible subshift of finite type containing a periodic configuration then periodic configurations are dense in $X$. The…

We introduce the annex of an element $x$ in a Coxeter group as the set of elements $y$ such that $x \nleq y$ with respect to Bruhat order. This notion provides a complementary perspective to the study of Bruhat intervals and their…

An element of a group is \emph{reversible} if it is conjugate to its own inverse, and it is \emph{strongly reversible} if it is conjugate to its inverse by an involution. A group element is strongly reversible if and only if it can be…

Let $W$ be an extended affine Weyl group. We prove that minimal length elements $w_{\co}$ of any conjugacy class $\co$ of $W$ satisfy some special properties, generalizing results of Geck and Pfeiffer \cite{GP} on finite Weyl groups. We…

If totally periodic points are dense in a subshift $X$, its automorphism group is residually finite. We show a weak converse: if periodic points are not dense in a subshift $X$, then the automorphism group of $X \times Y$ is not residually…

Say that a finite group $G$ is mixable if a product of random elements, each chosen independently from two options, can distribute uniformly on $G$. We present conditions and obstructions to mixability. We show that $2$-groups, the…

We define a tower of injections of $\tilde{B}$-type (resp. $\tilde{D}$-type) Coxeter groups $W(\tilde B_{n})$ (resp. $W(\tilde D_{n})$) for $n\geq 3$. Let $W^c(\tilde B_{n})$ (resp. $W^c(\tilde D_{n})$) be the set of fully commutative…

Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field. Steinberg has associated to a Coxeter element w of minimal length r a subvariety V of G isomorphic to an affine space of dimension r which meets the regular unipotent class Y…

We study the Hecke algebra $\H(\bq)$ over an arbitrary field $\FF$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ with independent parameters $\bq=(q_s\in\FF:s\in S)$ for all generators. This algebra is always linearly spanned by elements indexed by the…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on an element of a finite Coxeter group to ensure the transitivity of the Hurwitz action on its set of reduced decompositions into products of reflections. We show that this action is…
