The goal of this paper is to construct an action of the cactus group of a Weyl group W on W that is nicely compatible with Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. The action is realized by the wall-crossing bijections that are combinatorial shadows of…
Following Lusztig, we consider a Coxeter group $W$ together with a weight function $L$. This gives rise to the pre-order relation $\leq_{L}$ and the corresponding partition of $W$ into left cells. We introduce an equivalence relation on…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, let $G$ be a finite solvable group of automorphisms of $(W,S)$ and let $\varphi$ be a weight function which is invariant under $G$. Let $\varphi_G$ denote the weight function on $W^G$ obtained by restriction…
To a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ (with $S$ finite) and a weight function $L : W \to \NM$ is associated a partition of $W$ into Kazhdan-Lusztig (left, right or two-sided) $L$-cells. Let $S^\circ = \{s \in S | L(s)=0\}$, $S^+=\{s \in S | L(s) >…
Let W be a Coxeter group and L be a weight function on W. Following Lusztig, we have a corresponding decomposition of W into left cells, which have important applications in representation theory. We study the case where $W$ is an affine…
The purpose of this article is to shed new light on the combinatorial structure of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in infinite Coxeter groups $W$. Our main focus is the set $\D$ of distinguished involutions in $W$, which was introduced by Lusztig in…
We examine the partition of a finite Coxeter group of type $B$ into cells determined by a weight function $L$. The main objective of these notes is to reconcile Lusztig's description of constructible representations in this setting with…
We construct a morphism from the cactus group associated with a Coxeter group to the group of invertible elements of Lusztig's asymptotic algebra. This relates to the cactus group action on elements of Coxeter groups defined by Losev and…
We construct a small regular cellular decomposition of the Fulton MacPherson operad $FM_2$ that is compatible with the operad composition. The cells are indexed by trees with edges of two colors and vertices labelled by cells of the cacti…
Following Lusztig, we consider a Coxeter group $W$ together with a weight function. Geck showed that the Kazhdan-Lusztig cells of $W$ are compatible with parabolic subgroups. In this paper, we generalize this argument to some subsets of $W$…
In this article, we discuss the notion of partition of elements in an arbitrary Coxeter system $(W,S)$: a partition of an element $w$ is a subset $\mathcal P\subseteq W$ such that the left inversion set of $w$ is the disjoint union of the…
We consider the partition of a finite Coxeter group $W$ into left cells with respect to a weight function $L$. In the equal parameter case, Lusztig has shown that the representations carried by the left cells are precisely the so-called…
We consider the set $\Irr(W)$ of (complex) irreducible characters of a finite Coxeter group $W$. The Kazhdan--Lusztig theory of cells gives rise to a partition of $\Irr(W)$ into "families" and to a natural partial order $\leq_{\cLR}$ on…
We describe a "cellular" approach to the computation of the cohomology of a poset with coefficients in a presheaf. A cellular cochain complex is constructed, described explicitly and shown to compute the cohomology under certain…
The cactus group acts combinatorially on crystals via partial Sch\"utzenberger involutions. This action has been studied extensively in type $A$ and described via Bender-Knuth involutions. We prove an analogous result for the family of…
In 1979, Kazhdan and Lusztig introduced the notion of "cells" (left, right and two-sided) for a Coxeter group $W$, a concept with numerous applications in Lie theory and around. Here, we address algorithmic aspects of this theory for finite…
This paper contributes to a programme initiated by the first author: `How much information about a graph is revealed in its Potts partition function?'. We show that the $W$-polynomial distinguishes non-isomorphic weighted trees of a…
Consider a weighted Coxeter system $(W,S,\mathscr{L})$. Via its associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra, we may determine the partition of $W$ into Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. In this paper, we use the theory of Vogan classes introduced by…
Let $W$ be an arbitrary Coxeter group, possibly of infinite rank. We describe a decomposition of the centralizer $Z_W(W_I)$ of an arbitrary parabolic subgroup $W_I$ into the center of $W_I$, a Coxeter group and a subgroup defined by a…
Let W be a Coxeter group with Coxeter generators S. The rank of the Coxeter system (W,S) is the cardinality |S| of S. The Coxeter system (W,S) has finite rank if and only if W is finitely generated. If (W,S) has infinite rank, then |S| =…
