Braid groups of normalizers of reflection subgroups

Abstract

Let W0W_0 be a reflection subgroup of a finite complex reflection group WW, and let B0B_0 and BB be their respective braid groups. In order to construct a Hecke algebra H~0\widetilde{H}_0 for the normalizer NW(W0)N_W(W_0), one first considers a natural subquotient B~0\widetilde{B}_0 of BB which is an extension of NW(W0)/W0N_W(W_0)/W_0 by B0B_0. We prove that this extension is split when WW is a Coxeter group, and deduce a standard basis for the Hecke algebra H~0\widetilde{H}_0. We also give classes of both split and non-split examples in the non-Coxeter case.
