We study divergence and thickness for general Coxeter groups $W$. We first characterise linear divergence, and show that if $W$ has superlinear divergence then its divergence is at least quadratic. We then formulate a computable…

We lay the foundations of the first-order model theory of Coxeter groups. Firstly, with the exception of the $2$-spherical non-affine case (which we leave open), we characterize the superstable Coxeter groups of finite rank, which we show…

We define ``star reducible'' Coxeter groups to be those Coxeter groups for which every fully commutative element (in the sense of Stembridge) is equivalent to a product of commuting generators by a sequence of length-decreasing star…

For an irreducible crystallographic root system $\Phi$ and a positive integer $p$ relatively prime to the Coxeter number $h$ of $\Phi$, we give a natural bijection $\mathcal{A}$ from the set $\widetilde{W}^p$ of affine Weyl group elements…

Let $W$ be a finite Weyl group and ${\hat{W}}$ be the corresponding affine Weyl group. We show that a large element in ${\hat{W}}$, randomly generated by (reduced) multiplication by simple generators, almost surely has one of $|W|$-specific…

Reading cut the hyperplanes in a real central arrangement $\mathcal H$ into pieces called \emph{shards}, which reflect order-theoretic properties of the arrangement. We show that shards have a natural interpretation as certain generators of…

Given a Coxeter system (W,S) equipped with an involutive automorphism T, the set of twisted identities is i(T) = {T(w)^{-1}w : w \in W}. We point out how i(T) shows up in several contexts and prove that if there is no s \in S such that…

This paper gives a definitive solution to the problem of describing conjugacy classes in arbitrary Coxeter groups in terms of cyclic shifts. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. A cyclic shift of an element $w\in W$ is a conjugate of $w$ of the…

The usual combinatorial model for the 0-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group is to consider the algebra (or monoid) generated by the bubble sort operators. This construction generalizes to any finite Coxeter group W. The authors previously…

In a 2015 paper we have defined a map from the set of conjugacy classes in a Weyl group W to the set of irreducible representations of W (its image parametrizes the strata of a reductive group with Weyl group W). In this paper we provide…

Pop-stacks are variants of stacks that were introduced by Avis and Newborn in 1981. Coincidentally, a 1982 result of Unger implies that every permutation of length n can be sorted by n-1 passes through a deterministic pop-stack. We give a…

Let $(W, S)$ be a Coxeter system equipped with a fixed automorphism $\ast$ of order $\leq 2$ which preserves $S$. Lusztig (and with Vogan in some special cases) have shown that the space spanned by set of "twisted" involutions was naturally…

For a Coxeter group $W$ we have an associating bi-linear form $B$ on suitable real vector space. We assume that $B$ has the signature $(n-1,1)$ and all the bi-linear form associating rank $n' (\ge 3)$ Coxeter subgroups generated by subsets…

Using earlier results we prove a formula for the number $W_{(n,k)}$ of 2-stack sortable permutations of length $n$ with $k$ runs, or in other words, $k-1$ descents. This formula will yield the suprising fact that there are as many 2-stack…

We enumerate factorizations of a Coxeter element in a well generated complex reflection group into arbitrary factors, keeping track of the fixed space dimension of each factor. In the infinite families of generalized permutations, our…

We show that an element $w$ of a finite Weyl group $W$ is rationally smooth if and only if the hyperplane arrangement $I$ associated to the inversion set of $w$ is inductively free, and the product $(d_1+1) \cdots (d_l+1)$ of the…

For $W$ a Coxeter group, let $\mathcal{W} = \{ w \in W \;| \; w = xy \; \mbox{where} \; x, y \in W \; \mbox{and} \; x^2 = 1 = y^2 \}$. If $W$ is finite, then it is well known that $W = \mathcal{W}$. Suppose that $w \in \mathcal{W}$. Then…

Partially ordered patterns (POPs) generalize the notion of classical patterns studied in the literature in the context of permutations, words, compositions and partitions. In this paper, we give a number of general, and specific enumerative…

We prove that certain families of Coxeter groups and inclusions $W_1\hookrightarrow W_2\hookrightarrow...$ satisfy homological stability, meaning that in each degree the homology $H_\ast(BW_n)$ is eventually independent of $n$. This gives a…

For any crystallographic root system, let $W$ be the associated Weyl group, and let $\mathit{WP}$ be the weight polytope (also known as the $W$-permutohedron) associated with an arbitrary strongly dominant weight. The action of $W$ on…
