Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system of type $A$, so that $W$ can be identified with the symmetric group $\mathrm{Sym}(n)$ for some positive integer $n$ and $S$ with the set of simple transpositions $\{\,(i,i+1)\mid 1\leqslant i\leqslant…

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 $W$…

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…

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…

We further develop the theory of $W\!$-graph ideals, first introduced by the authors in reference [6]. We discuss $W\!$-graph subideals, and induction and restriction of $W\!$-graph ideals for parabolic subgroups. We introduce $W\!$-graph…

We pose counting problems related to the various settings for Coxeter-Catalan combinatorics (noncrossing, nonnesting, clusters, Cambrian). Each problem is to count "twin" pairs of objects from a corresponding problem in Coxeter-Catalan…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…

The aim of this note is to show that the cycle decomposition of elements of the symmetric group admits a quite natural formulation in the framework of dual Coxeter theory, yielding a generalization of it to the family of so-called parabolic…

In this paper, we study $k$-parabolic arrangements, a generalization of $k$-equal arrangements for finite real reflection groups. When $k=2$, these arrangements correspond to the well-studied Coxeter arrangements. Brieskorn (1971) showed…

Let $W_a$ be an affine Weyl group and $\eta:W_a\longrightarrow W_0$ be the natural projection to the corresponding finite Weyl group. We say that $w\in W_a$ has finite Coxeter part if $\eta(w)$ is conjugate to a Coxeter element of $W_0$.…

Let $H$ and $K$ be subgroups of a finite group $G$. Pick $g \in G$ uniformly at random. We study the distribution induced on double cosets. Three examples are treated in detail: 1) $H = K = $ the Borel subgroup in $GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. This…

A type of directed multigraph called a W-digraph is introduced to model the structure of certain representations of Hecke algebras, including those constructed by Lusztig and Vogan from involutions in a Weyl group. Building on results of…

Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Weyl group and let $w\in W$. It is widely appreciated that the descent set D(w)=\{s\in S | l(ws)<l(w)\} determines a very large and important chapter in the study of Coxeter groups. In this paper we generalize some…

The principal objects studied in this note are Coxeter groups $W$ that are neither finite nor affine. A well known result of de la Harpe asserts that such groups have exponential growth. We consider quotients of $W$ by its parabolic…

In this paper, we study the Kazhdan--Lusztig cells of a Coxeter group $W$ in a ``relative'' setting, with respect to a parabolic subgroup $W_I \subseteq W$. This relies on a factorization of the Kazhdan--Lusztig basis $\{C_w\}$ of the…

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…

For W a finite Coxeter group, a formula is found for the size of W equivalence classes of subsets of a base. The proof is a case-by-case analysis using results and tables of Carter and Orlik/Solomon. As a corollary we obtain an alternating…

For a finite Coxeter group W, a subword complex is a simplicial complex associated with a pair (Q, \rho), where Q is a word in the alphabet of simple reflections, \rho is a group element. We describe the transformations of such a complex…

Let $(W, I)$ be a finite Coxeter group. In the case where $W$ is a Weyl group, Berenstein and Kazhdan in \cite{BK} constructed a monoid structure on the set of all subsets of $I$ using unipotent $\chi$-linear bicrystals. In this paper, we…

In this article, we establish some new combinatorial properties of cone types in Coxeter groups. Firstly, we show that for any element $x$ in a Coxeter group $W$ and root $\beta$ in its inversion set $\Phi(x)$, the set of elements $y \in W$…
