Two partial orders on a reflection group, the codimension order and the prefix order, are together called the absolute order when they agree. We show that in this case the absolute order on a complex reflection group has the strong Sperner…

An antichain $\mathcal{A}$ in a poset $\mathcal{P}$ is a subset of $\mathcal{P}$ in which no two elements are comparable. Sperner showed that the maximal antichain in the Boolean lattice, $\mathcal{B}_n = \left\{ 0 < 1 \right\}^n$, is the…

Coxeter groups are equipped with a partial order known as the weak order, such that $u \leq v$ if the inversions of $u$ are a subset of the inversions of $v$. In finite Coxeter groups, weak order is a complete lattice, but in infinite…

A permutation representation of a Coxeter group $W$ naturally defines an absolute order. This family of partial orders (which includes the absolute order on $W$) is introduced and studied in this paper. Conditions under which the associated…

The absolute order is a natural partial order on a Coxeter group W. It can be viewed as an analogue of the weak order on W in which the role of the generating set of simple reflections in W is played by the set of all reflections in W. By…

We prove a number of results about profinite completions of Coxeter groups. For example we prove Coxeter groups are good in the sense of Serre and that various splittings of Coxeter groups arising from actions on trees are detected by the…

A well-known result of Stanley from 1980 implies that the weak order on a maximal parabolic quotient of the symmetric group $S_n$ has the Sperner property; this same property was recently established for the weak order on all of $S_n$ by…

This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…

The absolute order on the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$ is investigated. It is proved that the order ideal of this poset generated by the Coxeter elements is homotopy Cohen-Macaulay and the M\"obius number of this ideal is computed. Moreover,…

We prove that the irreducible affine Coxeter groups are first-order rigid and deduce from this that they are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense. We then show that the first-order theory of any irreducible affine Coxeter group does not…

In this note, we characterize affine and non-affine Coxeter systems among all Coxeter systems in terms of the structure of their reflection orders. For an infinite irreducible system $(W,S)$, we show that affineness can be characterized in…

We define a class of partial orders on a Coxeter group associated with sets of reflections. In special cases, these lie between the left weak order and the Bruhat order. We prove that these posets are graded by the length function and that…

The extended weak order on a Coxeter group $W$ is the poset of biclosed sets in its root system. In (Barkley-Speyer 2024), it was shown that when $W=\widetilde{S}_n$ is the affine symmetric group, then the extended weak order is a quotient…

We discuss the theory of certain partially ordered sets that capture the structure of commutation classes of words in monoids. As a first application, it follows readily that counting words in commutation classes is #P-complete. We then…

We introduce two order relations on finite Coxeter groups which refine the absolute and the Bruhat order, and establish some of their main properties. In particular we study the restriction of these orders to noncrossing partitions and show…

We prove the dichotomy that every Coxeter group either has a strongly solid group von Neumann algebra or contains the product of an infinite cyclic group and a free group of rank 2. This generalizes the same dichotomy for right-angled…
