We study the restriction of the absolute order on a Coxeter group $W$ to an interval $[1,w]_T$, where $w\in W$ is an involution. We characterize and classify those involutions $w$ for which $[1,w]_T$ is a lattice, using the notion of…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the noncrossing partition lattice associated to a finite Coxeter group $W$. In this paper we construct explicit bases for the top homology groups of intervals and rank-selected subposets of $\mathcal{L}$. We define a…

In a finite real reflection group, the reflection length of each element is equal to the codimension of its fixed space, and the two coincident functions determine a partial order structure called the absolute order. In complex reflection…

We prove that the restriction of Bruhat order to noncrossing partitions in type $A_n$ for the Coxeter element $c=s_1s_2 ...s_n$ forms a distributive lattice isomorphic to the order ideals of the root poset ordered by inclusion. Motivated by…

Brink and Howlett have introduced a partial ordering, called dominance, on the positive roots in the Tits realization of Coxeter groups (Math. Ann. 296 (1993), 179--190). Recently a concept called $\infty$-height is introduced to each…

We use geometry of Davis complex of a Coxeter group to prove the following result: if G is an infinite indecomposable Coxeter group and $H\subset G$ is a finite index reflection subgroup then the rank of H is not less than the rank of G.…

The Cambrian lattices, introduced in (Reading, 2006), generalize the Tamari lattice to any choice of Coxeter element in any finite Coxeter group. They are further generalized to the m-Cambrian lattices (Stump, Thomas, Williams, 2015).…

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 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…

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…

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…

In this paper, we give a new class of rigid Coxeter groups. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. Suppose that (0) for each $s,t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is even, $m(s,t)=2$, (1) for each $s\neq t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd, $\{s,t\}$ is a…

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…

Given a finite irreducible Coxeter group $W$ with a fixed Coxeter element $c$, we define the Coxeter pop-tsack torsing operator $\mathsf{Pop}_T:W\to W$ by $\mathsf{Pop}_T(w)=w\cdot\pi_T(w)^{-1}$, where $\pi_T(w)$ is the join in the…
