There are two well-known ways of describing elements of the rotation group SO$(m)$. First, according to the Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, every rotation matrix can be written as an even number of reflections. And second, they can also be…

We determine the Waring rank of the fundamental skew invariant of any complex reflection group whose highest degree is a regular number. This includes all irreducible real reflection groups.

In this note, we are interested in the *-version of various special functions. Noting that many special functions are defined by integrals involving the exponential functions, we define *-special functions by similar integral formula…

We introduce the concept of hyperreflection groups, which are a generalization of Coxeter groups. We prove the Deletion and Exchange Conditions for hyperreflection groups, and we discuss special subgroups and fundamental sectors of…

Covariantly we reformulate the description of a spinning particle in terms of the Poincar\'{e} group. We also construct a Lagrangian which entails all possible constraints explicitly; all constraints can be obtained just from the…

Let K be the product O(n_1) x O(n_2) x ... x O(n_r) of orthogonal groups. Let V the r-fold tensor product of defining representations of each orthogonal factor. We compute a stable formula for the dimension of the K-invariant algebra of…

It is shown that, under mild conditions, a complex reflection group $G(r,p,n)$ may be decomposed into a set-wise direct product of cyclic subgroups. This property is then used to extend the notion of major index and a corresponding Hilbert…

We point out, by exhibiting two examples and mentioning a third one, that it is sometimes useful to consider Lorentz transformations as generated from hyperplane or line reflections. One example concerns the construction of boosts linking…

If $G$ is a finite primitive complex reflection group, all reflection subgroups of $G$ and their inclusions are determined up to conjugacy. As a consequence, it is shown that if the rank of $G$ is $n$ and if $G$ can be generated by $n$…

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group. A $W$-invariant function of class~$C^{\infty}$ may be expressed as a functions of class $C^{\infty}$ of the basic invariants. In finite class of differentiability, the situation is not this simple.…

Much of the fascinating numerology surrounding finite reflection groups stems from Solomon's celebrated 1963 theorem describing invariant differential forms. Invariant differential derivations also exhibit interesting numerology over the…

We utilize the structure of quasiautomorphic forms over an arbitrary Hecke triangle group to define a new vector analogue of an automorphic form. We supply a proof of the functional equations that hold for these functions modulo the group…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the prime field of order $p>0$ and $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group.For some $n$-dimensional cohyperplane $G$-representations $V$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we show that $\mathbb{F}_p[V\oplus V^*]^G$, the invariant…

We introduce a self-inverse function via an integral equivalent to a two-term combination of dilogarithms. We refer to this function as a fundamental form, since there is a family of extensions of this function that satisfy similar…

The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…

We construct a new set of combinations from the mass matrices of the charged leptons and neutrinos that are invariant under basis transformation, hereafter {\it the} invariants. We use these invariants to study various symmetries and…

An element of a group is called \emph{reversible} if it is conjugate to its inverse, and \emph{strongly reversible} if it can be expressed as a product of two involutions. We study strongly reversible elements in the Riordan group and in…

In [F. Caselli, Involutory reflection groups and their models, J. Algebra 24 (2010), 370--393] it is constructed a uniform Gelfand model for all non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups which are involutory. This model can be…

The classical Hurwitz numbers count the fixed-length transitive transposition factorizations of a permutation, with a remarkable product formula for the case of minimum length (genus $0$). We study the analogue of these numbers for…

We give a geometric description of a certain class of epimorphisms between complex reflection groups. We classify these epimorphisms, which can be interpreted as ``morphisms'' between the diagrams symbolizing standard presentations by…
