An inductive approach to the representation theory of the chain of the complex reflection groups G(m,1,n) is presented. We obtain the Jucys-Murphy elements of G(m,1,n) from the Jucys--Murphy elements of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra, and…
The characterization of orbits of roots under the action of a Coxeter element is a fundamental tool in the study of finite root systems and their reflection groups. This paper develops the analogous tool in the affine setting, adding detail…
Let $A$ be a ring of dimension $d$. Assume that for every finite extension ring $R$ of $A$, E_{d+1}(R) acts transitively on Um_{d+1}(R). Then we prove that E(A\oplus P) acts transitively on Um(A\oplus P), for any projective A-module P of…
Some groups of real analytic diffeomorphism act n-transitively for each finite n.
A factorisation problem in the symmetric group is central if conjugate permutations always have the same number of factorisations. We give the first fully combinatorial proof of the centrality of transitive star factorisations that is valid…
In this article we prove that the lattice of noncrossing partitions is EL-shellable when associated with the well-generated complex reflection group of type $G(d,d,n)$, for $d,n\geq 3$, or with the exceptional well-generated complex…
A group G acts infinitely transitively on a set Y if for every positive integer m, its action is m-transitive on Y. Given a real affine algebraic variety Y of dimension greater than or equal to two, we show that, under a mild restriction,…
An element of a Coxeter group $W$ is called fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions can be related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. In the preprint "Fully commutative elements in finite and…
We discuss some consequences of the invertibility of Rickard complexes in a categorified quantum group. Results include a description of reflection functors for quiver Hecke algebras and a theory of restricting categorical representations…
An action of a group on a set is called k-transitive if it is transitive on ordered k-tuples and highly transitive if it is k-transitive for every k. We show that for n>3 the group Out(Fn) = Aut(Fn)/Inn(Fn) admits a faithful highly…
In this paper we define a two-variable, generic Hecke algebra, H, for each complex reflection group G(b,1,n). The algebra H specializes to the group algebra of G(b,1,n) and also to an endomorphism algebra of a representation of GL(n,q)…
Let A be a unital separable C*-algebra, and D a K_1-injective strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra. We show that if A is D-absorbing, then the crossed product of A by a compact second countable group or by Z or by R is D-absorbing as well,…
For Coxeter groups with sufficiently large braid relations, we prove that the sequence of powers of a Coxeter element has unbounded reflection length. We establish a connection between the reflection length functions on arbitrary Coxeter…
In this paper we prove that a deformed tensor product of two Lefschetz algebras is a Lefschetz algebra. We then use this result in conjunction with some basic Schubert calculus to prove that the coinvariant ring of a finite reflection has…
We describe a categorical g action, called a (g,theta) action, which is easier to check in practice. Most categorical g actions can be shown to be of this form. The main result is that a (g,theta) action carries actions of quiver Hecke…
A Hurwitz generating triple for a group $G$ is an ordered triple of elements $(x,y,z) \in G^3$ where $x^2=y^3=z^7=xyz=1$ and $\langle x,y,z \rangle = G$. For the finite quasisimple exceptional groups of types $F_4$, $E_6$, $^2E_6$, $E_7$…
In any Coxeter group, the conjugates of elements in the standard minimal generating set are called reflections and the minimal number of reflections needed to factor a particular element is called its reflection length. In this article we…
For $G$ a connected linear algebraic group over a $p$-adic field, we show that the action of $G(\mathbb{B}^+_{\mathrm{dR}})$ on each Schubert cell in the $\mathbb{B}_{\mathrm{dR}}^+$-affine Grassmannian is transitive in the \'{e}tale…
Analogues of 1-shuffle elements for complex reflection groups of type $G(m,1,n)$ are introduced. A geometric interpretation for $G(m,1,n)$ in terms of rotational permutations of polygonal cards is given. We compute the eigenvalues, and…
We study certain actions of finitely generated abelian groups on higher dimensional noncommutative tori. Given a dimension $d$ and a finitely generated abelian group $G$, we apply a certain function to detect whether there is a simple…
