On reflection subgroups of finite Coxeter groups

Group Theory 2012-01-26 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

Let WW be a finite Coxeter group. We classify the reflection subgroups of WW up to conjugacy and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map that assigns to a reflection subgroup RR of WW the conjugacy class of its Coxeter elements to be injective, up to conjugacy.
