We ask if any finite type generalized braid group is a subgroup of some classical Artin braid group. We define a natural map from a given finite type generalized braid group to a classical braid group and ask if this map is an injective…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a Dynkin diagram and let $\Pi=\{\alpha_1,\dots ,\alpha_{\ell}\}$ be the simple roots of the corresponding Kac--Moody root system. Let $\mathfrak{h}$ denote the Cartan subalgebra, let $W$ denote the Weyl group and let…

We prove a pair of transformations relating elliptic hypergeometric integrals of different dimensions, corresponding to the root systems BC_n and A_n; as a special case, we recover some integral identities conjectured by van Diejen and…

In this paper, we define a mixed-base number system over a Weyl group of type $D$, the group even-signed permutations. We introduce one-to-one correspondence between positive integers and elements of Weyl groups of type $D$ after…

We define invariants of words in arbitrary groups, measuring how letters in a word are interleaving, perfectly detecting the dimension series of a group. These are the letter-braiding invariants. On free groups, braiding invariants coincide…

A solution of the isomorphism problem is presented for the class of Coxeter groups W that have a finite set of Coxeter generators S such that the underlying graph of the presentation diagram of the system (W,S) has the property that every…

We compute Hochschild homology and cohomology of a class of generalized Weyl algebras (for short GWA, defined by Bavula in St.Petersbourg Math. Journal 1999 4(1) pp. 71-90). Examples of such algebras are the n-th Weyl algebras, U(sl_2),…

We investigate the class of root systems R obtained by extending an irreducible root system by a torsion-free group G. In this context there is a Weyl group W and a group U with the presentation by conjugation. We show under additional…

This paper establishes a novel combinatorial framework at the intersection of Lie theory and algebraic combinatorics, based on a generalization of the Kostant game. We begin by reviewing the foundations of root systems, the classification…

Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $S$ be the closed surface of genus $nk$. A copy of the braid group on $2k+2$ strands modulo its center is found inside $\mathrm{Mod}(S)$, provided $n\geq 3$. In particular, for $k=1$ the class of the…

We study the sublattices of the rank $2^d$ Barnes-Wall lattices $\bw d$ which occur as fixed points of involutions. They have ranks $2^{d-1}$ (for dirty involutions) or $2^{d-1}\pm 2^{k-1}$ (for clean involutions), where $k$, the defect, is…

Let $\mathbb{C}\mathsf{A}_n = \mathbb{C}[S_2\wr S_2 \wr\cdots \wr S_2]$ be the group algebra of $n$-step iterated wreath product. We prove some structural properties of $\mathsf{A}_n$ such as their centers, centralizers, right and double…

Several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $\widetilde{C}_{n}$ on triangulations, trees, words and permutations are compared. Addressing a question of David Vogan, we show that, modulo a natural involution, these…

We study Bruhat intervals in affine Weyl groups by viewing them as regions of alcoves. In type $\widetilde{A}_2$ we show that each interval coincides with a generalized permutohedron minus a star-shaped polygon, and we prove a subtler…

The number of Bruhat intervals in Coxeter groups is finite, and for the first few lengths, the intervals were described up to an isomorphism by A. Hultman using the correspondence between Bruhat intervals and cell decompositions of a 2d…

Let W be a Weyl group and let w be a Coxeter elememt of minimal length of W. In the early 1970's I.G.Macdonald stated that the trace of w on an irreducible representation of W is 0,1 or -1. In this paper we give a proof of this statement…

A twisted generalized Weyl algebra A of degree n depends on a base algebra R, n commuting automorphisms s_i of R, n central elements t_i of R and on some additional scalar parameters. In a paper by V.Mazorchuk and L.Turowska (1999) it is…

Let $c$ be the family of irreducible representations of a Weyl group $W$ corresponding to a two-sided cell of $W$. We define a subset $A_c$ of $c$ which contains the special representation of $W$ in $c$ and is in canonical bijection with…

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 investigate a novel diagrammatic approach to examining strict actions of a Coxeter group or a braid group on a category. This diagrammatic language, which was developed in a series of papers by Elias, Khovanov and Williamson, provides…
