Given a reflection $r$ in a Coxeter group $W$ (possibly of infinite rank), we consider the subgroup of $W$ generated by the reflections in $W$ having (-1)-eigenvectors orthogonal to the (-1)-eigenvector of $r$. In this paper, we determine…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. We study the proportion of irreducible characters of infinite families of irreducible Coxeter groups whose values evaluated on a fixed element $g$ are divisible by $d$. For Coxeter groups of types $A_n, B_n$…

This paper and its sequel describe the irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra $H_c(W)$ for a finite Coxeter group $W$ of type $H_4$, $F_4$ with equal parameters, $E_6$, $E_7$, and $E_8$, when $c$ is not a…

For a finite real reflection group $W$ with Coxeter element $\gamma$ we give a uniform proof that the closed interval, $[I, \gamma]$ forms a lattice in the partial order on $W$ induced by reflection length. The proof involves the…

The reduced expressions for a given element $w$ of a Coxeter group $(W, S)$ can be regarded as the vertices of a directed graph $\mathcal{R}(w)$; its arcs correspond to the braid moves. Specifically, an arc goes from a reduced expression…

Li-Nadler proposed a conjecture about traces of Hecke categories, which implies the semistable part of the Betti Geometric Langlands Conjecture of Ben-Zvi-Nadler in genus 1. We prove a Weyl group analogue of this conjecture. Our theorem…

The irreducible representations of full support in the rational Cherednik category $\mathcal{O}_c(W)$ attached to a Coxeter group $W$ are in bijection with the irreducible representations of an associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra. Recent work…

In this fith part, (with the notations of the preceding parts) we make the following hypothesis: $(W,S)$ is a Coxeter system, irreducible, $2$-spherical and $S$ is of cardinality $3$. Let $R:W\to GL(M)$ be a reducible reflection…

The purpose of this article is to shed new light on the combinatorial structure of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in infinite Coxeter groups $W$. Our main focus is the set $\D$ of distinguished involutions in $W$, which was introduced by Lusztig in…

We study Weyl elements in isotropic reductive groups over commutative rings. Our main result in an explicit formula for squares of such elements. We also classify these elements in rank one groups and prove basic properties of their loci.

Every irreducible odd dimensional representation of the $n$'th symmetric or hyperoctahedral group, when restricted to the $(n-1)$'th, has a unique irreducible odd-dimensional constituent. Furthermore, the subgraph induced by odd-dimensional…

The complexity of a block of a symmetric algebra can be measured by the notion of defect, a numerical datum associated with each of the simple modules contained in the block. Geck showed that the defect is a block invariant for…

The reflection length of an element of a Coxeter group is the minimal number of conjugates of the standard generators whose product is equal to that element. In this paper we prove the conjecture of McCammond and Petersen that reflection…

The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for finite Weyl groups arise in the geometry of Schubert varieties and representation theory. It was proved very soon after their introduction that they have nonnegative integer coefficients, but no…

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…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field whose characteristic is not a bad prime for G. Let w be an elliptic element of the Weyl group which has minimal length in its conjugacy class. We show that there exists a unique…

Using norms, the second author constructed a basis for the centre of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group over $\Q[\xi]$ in 1990. An integral "minimal" basis was later given by the first author in 1999, following work of Geck and…

Given an involutive automorphism $\theta$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$, let $\mathfrak{I}(\theta) \subseteq W$ denote the set of twisted involutions. We provide a minimal set of moves that can be added to the braid moves, in order to connect…

Chapoton has observed a simple product formula for the number of reflections in a finite Coxeter group that have full support. We give a uniform proof of his formula for Weyl groups. We furthermore refine his formula by the length of the…

Let $c$ be the family of irreducible representations of a Weyl group $W$ corresponding to a two-sided cell of $W$. We define a subset $A_c$ of $c$ which contains the special representation of $W$ in $c$ and is in canonical bijection with…
