Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and a multiparameter $\mathbf{q}$ of real numbers indexed by $S$, one can define the weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups and associate to them a nonnegative real number called the weighted $L^2$-Betti number. We…

In this brief sequel to a previous article, we recall the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We…

We exhibit a set of operators on pairs of domino tableaux of the same shape sending them to other such pairs with the same right tableau, in such a way that any two pairs with the same right tableau are conjugate by some composition of the…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, let $S=I \dot{\cup} J$ be a partition of $S$ such that no element of $I$ is conjugate to an element of $J$, let $\widetilde{J}$ be the set of $W_I$-conjugates of elements of $J$ and let $\widetilde{W}$ be…

We introduce the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We obtain invariants of CCS's under Pachner-like…

Let (W, S) be a Coxeter system. A W-graph is an encoding of a representation of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. Especially important examples include the W-graph corresponding to the action of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra on the…

A {\em $3$-graph} is a connected cubic graph such that each vertex is is equipped with a cyclic order of the edges incident with it. A {\em weight system} is a function $f$ on the collection of $3$-graphs which is {\em antisymmetric}:…

We describe new spaces and maps. Our graphical map is a visual and numerical correspondence between spaces of circular electrical networks and circular planar split systems. When restricted to the planar circular electrical case, this…

We prove that there exists a bound $N'_L(W)$ for a positively weighted Coxeter group $(W, S, L)$ of finite rank. In particular, Lusztig's $\boldsymbol{a}$-function of $(W, S, L)$ is bounded.

The purpose of this work is to define a natural action of the cactus group on the set of Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns for orthogonal Lie algebras. These Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns are meant to index the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis in the irreducible…

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…

This article deals with the study of affine cactus groups from a combinatorial point of view. Those groups are extensions of cactus groups, which are related to braid and diagram groups and have gained an important place in many mathematics…

In this paper we consider the variational approach to cactus trees (Husimi trees) and the more common recursive approach, that are in principle equivalent for finite systems. We discuss in detail the conditions under which the two methods…

A Coxeter system is an ordered pair (W,S) where S is the generating set in a particular type of presentation for the Coxeter group W. A subgroup of W is called special if it is generated by a subset of S. Amalgamated product decompositions…

In this note we give a self-contained proof of a fundamental statement in the study of cosheaves over a poset. Specifically, if a functor has domain a poset and co-domain a co-complete category, then the left Kan extension of that functor…

We restate a process presented by Stanley as a technique to prove that there exists exactly one $d$-differential distributive lattice for any positive integer $d$. This process can be trivially extended to apply to distributive finitary…

Many cellular processes involve information processing and decision making. We can probe these processes at increasing molecular detail. The analysis of heterogeneous data remains a challenge that requires new ways of thinking about cells…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group and $L$ be a weight function on $W$ in the sense of Lusztig. We have recently introduced a pre-order relation $\preceq_L$ on the set of irreducible characters of $W$ which extends Lusztig's definition of…
