On centralizers of parabolic subgroups in Coxeter groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let W be an arbitrary Coxeter group, possibly of infinite rank. We describe a decomposition of the centralizer ZW (WI) of an arbitrary parabolic subgroup WI into the center of WI , a Coxeter group and a subgroup defined by a 2-cell complex. Only information about finite parabolic subgroups is required in an explicit computation. Moreover, by using our description of ZW (WI), we reveal a further strong property of the action of the third factor on the second factor, in particular on the finite irreducible components of the second factor.

Centralizers of Iwahori-hecke Algebras Ii: the General Case
This note is a sequel to [4]. We establish the minimal basis theory for the centralizers of parabolic subalgebras of IwahoriHecke algebras associated to finite Coxeter groups of any type, generalizing the approach introduced in [3] from centres to the centralizer case. As a pre-requisite, we prove a reducibility property in the twisted J-conjugacy classes in finite Coxeter groups, which is a ge...
متن کاملReflection Centralizers in Coxeter Groups
We give a new proof of Brink’s theorem that the nonreflection part of a reflection centralizer in a Coxeter group is free, and make several refinements. In particular we give an explicit finite set of generators for the centralizer and a method for computing the Coxeter diagram for its reflection part. In many cases, our method allows one to compute centralizers quickly in one’s head. We also d...
متن کاملCentralizers of Iwahori-hecke Algebras
To date, integral bases for the centre of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a finite Coxeter group have relied on character theoretical results and the isomorphism between the Iwahori-Hecke algebra when semisimple and the group algebra of the finite Coxeter group. In this paper, we generalize the minimal basis approach of an earlier paper, to provide a way of describing and calculating elements of t...
متن کاملA Note on Element Centralizers in Finite Coxeter
The normalizer NW (WJ) of a standard parabolic subgroup WJ of a finite Coxeter group W splits over the parabolic subgroup with complement NJ consisting of certain minimal length coset representatives of WJ in W . In this note we show that (with the exception of a small number of cases arising from a situation in Coxeter groups of type Dn) the centralizer CW (w) of an element w ∈ W is in a simil...
متن کاملOn Boundaries of Parabolic Subgroups of Coxeter Groups
In this paper, we investigate boundaries of parabolic subgroups of Coxeter groups. Let (W, S) be a Coxeter system and let T be a subset of S such that the parabolic subgroup WT is infinite. Then we show that if a certain set is quasi-dense in W , then W∂Σ(WT , T ) is dense in the boundary ∂Σ(W, S) of the Coxeter system (W, S), where ∂Σ(WT , T ) is the boundary of (WT , T ).
