چکیده
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 my exposition are taken. One thing that is somewhat different from the standard treatments is the precise link between Coxeter elements and the Coxeter-Cartan matrix.

On the Maximally Clustered Elements of Coxeter Groups
We continue the study of the maximally clustered elements for simply laced Coxeter groups which were recently introduced by Losonczy. Such elements include as a special case the freely braided elements of Losonczy and the author, which in turn constitute a superset of the iji-avoiding elements of Fan. Our main result is to classify the MC-finite Coxeter groups, namely those Coxeter groups havin...
متن کاملCharacterization of cyclically fully commutative elements in finite and affine Coxeter groups
An element of a Coxeter group is fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions are related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. An element of a Coxeter group is cyclically fully commutative if any of its cyclic shifts remains fully commutative. These elements were studied by Boothby et al. In particular the authors precisely identified the Coxeter groups ...
متن کاملThe Enumeration of Coxeter Elements
Let (W, S, 0) be a Coxeter system: a Coxeter group W with S its distinguished generator set and 0 its Coxeter graph. In the present paper, we always assume that the cardinality l = |S| of S is finite. A Coxeter element of W is by definition a product of all generators s ∈ S in any fixed order. We use the notation C(W ) to denote the set of all the Coxeter elements in W . These elements play an ...
متن کاملOn the Isomorphism Problem for Finitely Generated Coxeter Groups. I Basic Matching
The isomorphism problem for finitely generated Coxeter groups is the problem of deciding if two finite Coxeter matrices define isomorphic Coxeter groups. Coxeter [3] solved this problem for finite irreducible Coxeter groups. Recently there has been considerable interest and activity on the isomorphism problem for arbitrary finitely generated Coxeter groups. In this paper, we determine some stro...
