We combinatorially characterize the number $\mathrm{cc}_2$ of conjugacy classes of involutions in any Coxeter group in terms of higher rank odd graphs. This notion naturally generalizes the concept of odd graphs, used previously to count…

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…

We generalise the notion of a separating intersection of links (SIL) to give necessary and sufficient criteria on the defining graph $\Gamma$ of a right-angled Coxeter group $W_\Gamma$ so that its outer automorphism group is large: that is,…

Existing research gives conditions for when the outer automorphism group of a graph product of primary cyclic groups $W_\Gamma$ is finite, virtually abelian, or large. We seek to prove a set of conditions for when this outer automorphism…

In this paper, given a split extension of an arbitrary Coxeter group by automorphisms of the Coxeter graph, we determine the involutions in that extension whose centralizer has finite index. Our result has applications to many problems such…

Super Weyl group plays an important role in the study of representations of basic classical Lie superalgebras. The Coxeter graphs for super Weyl groups of basis classical Lie superalgebras have been given in \cite{CLS}, where the authors…

We further develop the theory of $W\!$-graph ideals, first introduced by the authors in reference [6]. We discuss $W\!$-graph subideals, and induction and restriction of $W\!$-graph ideals for parabolic subgroups. We introduce $W\!$-graph…

Let $G$ be a reductive group with Borel $B$ and Weyl group $W$. Then $B$-double cosets in $G$ are indexed by the Weyl group, say $O(w)$ for $w\in W$. Then we prove the minimal $B$-double coset in the convolution $O(w_1)*O(w_2)$ is…

A graph $X$ is defined inductively to be $(a_0,\dots,a_{n-1})$-regular if $X$ is $a_0$-regular and for every vertex $v$ of $X$, the sphere of radius $1$ around $v$ is an $(a_1,\dots,a_{n-1})$-regular graph. Such a graph $X$ is said to be…

Let $(W, R)$ be a Coxeter system and let $w \in W$. We say that $u$ is a prefix of $w$ if there is a reduced expression for $u$ that can be extended to one for $w$. That is, $w = uv$ for some $v$ in $W$ such that $\ell(w) = \ell(u) +…

The descent algebra of a finite Coxeter group $W$ is a basic algebra, and as such it has a presentation as quiver with relations. In recent work, we have developed a combinatorial framework which allows us to systematically compute such a…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group and $\Omega$ be its $W$-graph algebra as defined by Gyoja. The author's previous paper \cite{hahn2016wgraphs} considered this algebra in some detail, proposed, and proved in some small cases the $W$-graph…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…

The enhanced power graph of a group G is a graph with vertex set G, where two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if there exists an element w in G such that both x and y are powers of w. To obtain the proper enhanced power…
