In this paper we discuss reflection groups and root systems, in particular non-crystallographic ones, and a Clifford algebra framework for both these concepts. A review of historical as well as more recent work on viral capsid symmetries…

We compute lower bounds for Kazhdan constants of Chevalley groups over the integers, endowed with the standard Steinberg generators. For types other than $\mathtt{A}_{n}$, these are the first explicit asymptotically sharp such bounds. The…

We prove that the width of any word in a simply connected Chevalley group of rank at least 2 over the ring that is a localisation of the ring of integers in a number field is bounded by a constant that depends only on the root system and on…

In this paper, we prove two structure theorems for twisted Chevalley groups $G_\sigma (R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ with unity. The first theorem concerns the normality of $E'_\sigma (R,J)$, the elementary congruence subgroups at level…

The goal of this paper is to establish a general rigidity statement for abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank at least 2 over a class of commutative rings that includes the localizations of 1-generated…

Continuing our previous work on graded twisting of Hopf algebras and monoidal categories, we introduce a graded twisting construction for equivariant comodule algebras and module categories. As an example we study actions of quantum…

We consider a particular class of Garside groups, which we call circular groups. We mainly prove that roots are unique up to conjugacy in circular groups. This allows us to completely classify these groups up to isomorphism. As a…

Given an equivariant oriented cohomology theory $h$, a split reductive group $G$, a maximal torus $T$ in $G$, and a parabolic subgroup $P$ containing $T$, we explain how the $T$-equivariant oriented cohomology ring $h_T(G/P)$ can be…

Quaternionic representations of Coxeter (reflection) groups of ranks 3 and 4, as well as those of E_8, have been used extensively in the literature. The present paper analyses such Coxeter groups in the Clifford Geometric Algebra framework,…

Motivated by the recent advances in the categorification of the cluster structure on the coordinate rings of Grassmannians of $k$-subspaces in $n$-space, we investigate a particular construction of root systems of type $\mathsf{T}_{2,p,q}$,…

We study Coxeter diagrams of some unitary reflection groups. Using solely the combinatorics of diagrams, we give a new proof of the classification of root lattices defined over $\cE = \ZZ[e^{2 \pi i/3}]$: there are only four such lattices,…

An RGD system $\mathcal{D}$ is called \emph{linear w.r.t. a root basis $\mathcal{B}$} if the commutation relations between the root groups of $\mathcal{D}$ are `linear' in a certain sense. Moreover, $\mathcal{D}$ is called…

The aim of this paper is an algebraic study of the Hopf algebra H_R of rooted trees, which was introduced in \cite{Kreimer1,Connes,Broadhurst,Kreimer2}. We first construct comodules over H_R from finite families of primitive elements.…

This paper is concerned with the diameter of certain word norms on S-arithmetic split Chevalley groups. Such groups are well known to be boundedly generated by root elements. We prove that word metrics given by conjugacy classes on…

A finite irreducible real reflection group of rank l and Coxeter number h has root system of cardinality h*l. It is shown that the fake degree for the permutation action on its roots is divisible by [h]_q = 1+q+q^2+...+q^{h-1}, and that in…

Let $k$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field, $G$ a Chevalley group over $k$, $U$ the maximal unipotent subgroup of $G$. To each orthogonal subset $D$ of the root system of the group $G$ and each set $\xi$ of $|D|$ non-zero scalars…

Let $\mathbb Z_n$ denote the cyclic group of order $n$. We show how the group determinant for $G= \mathbb Z_n \times H$ can be simply written in terms of the group determinant for $H$. We use this to get a complete description of the…

Let $p$ be a prime and $q$ be a power of $p$. We compute the Chow ring of the classifying space of some Chevalley groups $G(\mathbb{F}_q)$, when considered as a finite algebraic group over a field of characteristic $p$ containing…

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible root system (other than $G_2$) of rank at least $2$, let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field with $p = \operatorname{char} \mathbb{F} > 3$, and let $\mathrm{G}(\Phi,\mathbb{F})$ be the corresponding Chevalley group.…

We introduce a class of graphs with coloured edges to encode subsystems of the classical root systems, which in particular classify them up to equivalence. We further use the graphs to describe root-kernel intersections, as well as…
