This paper gives a definitive solution to the problem of describing conjugacy classes in arbitrary Coxeter groups in terms of cyclic shifts. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. A cyclic shift of an element $w\in W$ is a conjugate of $w$ of the…

The rising algebra is a subalgebra of the group algebra of the symmetric group S_n, gotten by lumping together permutations having the same number of rising sequences. This well-known algebra arises naturally when studying riffle shuffles.…

We classify a "dense open" subset of categories with an action of a reductive group, which we call nondegenerate categories, entirely in terms of the root datum of the group. As an application of our methods, we also: (1) Upgrade an…

This paper is a sequel to work of Dynkin on subroot lattices of root lattices and to work of Carter on presentations of Weyl group elements as products of reflections. The quotients $L/L_1$ are calculated for all irreducible root lattices…

The analysis and the classification of all reductions for the nonlinear evolution equations solvable by the inverse scattering method is an interesting and still open problem. We show how the second order reductions of the N-wave…

This paper studies the combinatorics of lattice congruences of the weak order on a finite Weyl group $W$, using representation theory of the corresponding preprojective algebra $\Pi$. Natural bijections are constructed between important…

A Weyl arrangement is the arrangement defined by the root system of a finite Weyl group. When a set of positive roots is an ideal in the root poset, we call the corresponding arrangement an ideal subarrangement. Our main theorem asserts…

Given a group $G$, its lattice of subgroups $\mathcal{L}(G)$ can be viewed as a simplicial complex in a natural way. The inclusion of $1_G, G \in \mathcal{L}(G)$ implies that $\mathcal{L}(G)$ is contractible, and so we study the topology of…

We construct a class of non-weight modules over the twisted $N=2$ superconformal algebra $\T$. Let $\mathfrak{h}=\C L_0\oplus\C G_0$ be the Cartan subalgebra of $\T$, and let $\mathfrak{t}=\C L_0$ be the Cartan subalgebra of even part…

Solomon's descent algebra is used to define a family of signed measures M(W,x) for a finite Coxeter group W and non-zero x. The measures corresponding to W of types A and B are known to arise from the theory of card shuffling and to be…

An $\ell$-lift of a graph $G$ is any graph obtained by replacing every vertex of $G$ with an independent set of size $\ell$, and connecting every pair of two such independent sets that correspond to an edge in $G$ by a matching of size…

We compute the finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over the sum of two simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules V and W over non-abelian quotients of a certain central extension of the dihedral group of eight elements or SL(2,3), and such that the…

Let W be a Weyl group. We introduce the notion of positive conjugacy class in W. This generalizes the notion of regular elliptic conjugacy class in the sense of Springer.

We define the notion of a separable element in a finite Weyl group, generalizing the well-studied class of separable permutations. We prove that the upper and lower order ideals in weak Bruhat order generated by a separable element are…

Let G be a finite group of nilpotency class 2 and w a group word. In this short paper we show that the probability that a random n-tuple of elements from G satisfies w is at least one over the order of G. This answers a special case of a…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

We prove that an invariant subalgebra A_n^W of the Weyl algebra A_n is a Galois order over an adequate commutative subalgebra \Gamma when W is a two-parameters irreducible unitary reflection group G(m,1,n), m\geq 1, n\geq 1, including the…

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a decomposition of G into finitely many strata such that each stratum is a union of conjugacy classes of fixed dimension; the strata are indexed by a set…

We introduce the simple notion of a "crystallographic arrangement" and prove a one-to-one correspondence between these arrangements and the connected simply connected Cartan schemes for which the real roots are a finite root system (up to…

In this paper we define an equivalence relation on the set of all $x_{J}$ in order to form a basis for a new descent algebra of Weyl groups of type $A_{n}$. By means of this, we construct a new commutative and semi-simple descent algebra of…
