Abstract

In [5], Elnitsky constructed three elegant bijections between classes of reduced words for Type A\mathrm{A}, B\mathrm{B} and D\mathrm{D} families of Coxeter groups and certain tilings of polygons. This paper offers a particular generalization of this concept to all finite Coxeter Groups in terms of embeddings into the Symmetric Group. [5] Elnitsky, Serge.
