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…

In this article, we investigate the existence of joins in the weak order of an infinite Coxeter group W. We give a geometric characterization of the existence of a join for a subset X in W in terms of the inversion sets of its elements and…

Let $(W, S)$ be a Coxeter system. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the Coxeter diagram of $(W, S)$ for $W$ to be relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of finitely generated subgroups. The peripheral subgroups are…

We define the Coxeter cochain complex of a Coxeter group (G,S) with coefficients in a Z[G]-module A. This is closely related to the complex of simplicial cochains on the abstract simplicial complex I(S) of the commuting subsets of S. We…

Coxeter and Dynkin diagrams classify a wide variety of structures, most notably finite reflection groups, lattices having such groups as symmetries, compact simple Lie groups and complex simple Lie algebras. The simply laced or "ADE" Dynkin…

Let $W$ be an arbitrary Coxeter group, possibly of infinite rank. We describe a decomposition of the centralizer $Z_W(W_I)$ of an arbitrary parabolic subgroup $W_I$ into the center of $W_I$, a Coxeter group and a subgroup defined by a…

In this paper we describe a family of isomorphism invariants of a finitely generated Coxeter group W. Each of these invariants is the isomorphism type of a quotient group W/N of W by a characteristic subgroup N. The virtue of these…

We study the congruence lattice of the poset of regions of a hyperplane arrangement, with particular emphasis on the weak order on a finite Coxeter group. Our starting point is a theorem from a previous paper which gives a geometric…

We give a criterion for a finitely generated odd-angled Coxeter group to have a proper finite index subgroup generated by reflections. The answer is given in terms of the least prime divisors of the exponents of the Coxeter relations.

In this paper, we first characterize which generalized lexicographic products are divisor graphs. As applications, we show that power graphs, reduced power graphs and order graphs are all divisor graphs, which also implies the main result…

We determine a fundamental domain for the diagonal action of a finite Coxeter group $W$ on $V^{\oplus n}$, where $V$ is the reflection representation. This is used to give a stratification of $V^{\oplus n}$, which is respected by the group…

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,…

We introduce the notion of weighted Coxeter graph and associate to it a certain generalization of the standard geometric representation of a Coxeter group. We prove sufficient conditions for faithfulness and non-faithfulness of such a…

Orbits of the Weyl reflection groups attached to the simple Lie groups $A_2, C_2, G_2$ and Coxeter group $H_2$ are considered. For each of the groups products of any two orbits are decomposed into the union of the orbits. Results are…

An element of a Coxeter group $W$ is called fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions can be related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. In the preprint "Fully commutative elements in finite and…

If S and S' are two finite sets of Coxeter generators for a right-angled Coxeter group W, then the Coxeter systems (W,S) and (W,S') are equivalent.

Let $G$ be a finite group. The co-prime order graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, and two distinct vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if gcd$(o(x),o(y))$ is either $1$ or a prime, where $o(x)$ and $o(y)$ are the orders of $x$ and…
