Involutions in Weyl Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a split real group with Weyl group W . Let E be an irreducible representation of W . Let V be the stable Lie algebra version of the coherent continuation representation of W . The main result of this paper is a formula for the multiplicity of E in V . The formula involves the position of E in Lusztig’s set ∐ M(G). The paper treats all quasi-split groups G as well.

Calculating Canonical Distinguished Involutions in the Affine Weyl Groups
Distinguished involutions in the affine Weyl groups, defined by G. Lusztig, play an essential role in the Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics of these groups. A distinguished involution is called canonical if it is the shortest element in its double coset with respect to the finite Weyl group. Each two-sided cell in the affine Weyl group contains precisely one canonical distinguished involution. In t...
متن کاملModels and refined models for involutory reflection groups and classical Weyl groups
A finite subgroup G of GL(n,C) is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group, i.e. elements g ∈ G such that gḡ = 1, where the bar denotes complex conjugation. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups which are involutory including,...
متن کاملThe Weyl Group as Xed Point Set of Smooth Involutions
We show that the Weyl group W = M 0 =M of a noncompact semisimple Lie group is obtained by taking xed point sets of smooth involutions in K=M. More precisely, one considers rst the xed point set X of the involutions deened on K=M by the elements of order 2 in exp ia. The Weyl group is either X , or the xed point set of the involutions deened on X by special elements of order 4 in exp ia.
متن کاملFully Commutative Elements in the Weyl and Affine Weyl Groups
Let W be a Weyl or affine Weyl group and let Wc be the set of fully commutative elements in W . We associate each w ∈ Wc to a digraph G(w). By using G(w), we give a graph-theoretic description for Lusztig’s a-function on Wc and describe explicitly all the distinguished involutions of W . The results verify two conjectures in our case: one was proposed by myself in [15, Conjecture 8.10] and the ...
متن کاملCommuting Involution Graphs for Ãn
Let G be a group and X a subset of G. The commuting graph on X, denoted C(G,X), has vertex set X and an edge joining x, y ∈ X whenever xy = yx. If in addition X is a set of involutions, then C(G,X) is called a commuting involution graph. Commuting graphs have been investigated by many authors. Sometimes they are tools used in the proof of a theorem, or they may be studied as a way of shedding l...
