Conjugacy of Coxeter Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a Coxeter group (W,S), a permutation of the set S is called a Coxeter word and the group element represented by the product is called a Coxeter element. Moving the first letter to the end of the word is called a rotation and two Coxeter elements are rotation equivalent if their words can be transformed into each other through a sequence of rotations and legal commutations. We prove that Coxeter elements are conjugate if and only if they are rotation equivalent. This was known for some special cases but not for Coxeter groups in general.

Conjugacy Relation on Coxeter Elements
Let (W, S, Γ) be an irreducible finitely presented Coxeter system. The present paper is mainly concerned with conjugacy relation on Coxeter elements in the case where Γ containing just one circle, in particular when Γ is itself a circle. In the cases where Γ is either a three multiple circle or a circle with three nodes, we show that the ss-equivalence relation on Coxeter elements of W is the s...
متن کاملEssays 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 ...
متن کاملMinimal Length Elements in Some Double Cosets of Coxeter Groups
We study the minimal length elements in some double cosets of Coxeter groups and use them to study Lusztig’s G-stable pieces and the generalization of G-stable pieces introduced by Lu and Yakimov. We also use them to study the minimal length elements in a conjugacy class of a finite Coxeter group and prove a conjecture in [GKP].
متن کاملVirtually Compact Special Hyperbolic Groups Are Conjugacy Separable
We prove that any word hyperbolic group which is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) is conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce that all word hyperbolic Coxeter groups and many classical small cancellation groups are conjugacy separable. To get the main result we establish a new criterion for showing that elements of prime order are conjugacy distinguished. This...
متن کاملA Family of Polynomials Related to Generic Degrees
A family of polynomials parameterized by the conjugacy classes of a finite Coxeter group is investigated. These polynomials, together with the character table of the group, determine the associated generic degrees. The polynomials are described completely for classes that meet a parabolic subgroup whose components are of type A or are dihedral, and for the class of Coxeter elements.
