Generating finite Coxeter groups with elements of the same order

Essays on Coxeter groups Coxeter elements in finite Coxeter groups

A finite Coxeter group possesses a distinguished conjugacy class of Coxeter elements. The literature about these is very large, but it seems to me that there is still room for a better motivated account than what exists. The standard references on thismaterial are [Bourbaki:1968] and [Humphreys:1990], butmy treatment follows [Steinberg:1959] and [Steinberg:1985], from which the clever parts of ...

Climbing Elements in Finite Coxeter Groups

We define the notion of a climbing element in a finite real reflection group relative to a total order on the reflection set and we characterise these elements in the case where the total order arises from a bipartite Coxeter element.

Generating Random Elements in Finite Groups

Let G be a finite group of order g. A probability distribution Z on G is called ε-uniform if |Z(x) − 1/g| ≤ ε/g for each x ∈ G. If x1, x2, . . . , xm is a list of elements of G, then the random cube Zm := Cube(x1, . . . , xm) is the probability distribution where Zm(y) is proportional to the number of ways in which y can be written as a product x1 1 x ε2 2 · · · xεm m with each εi = 0 or 1.
