چکیده

An element of a Coxeter group W is fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions are related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. These elements were extensively studied by Stembridge in the finite case. In this work we deal with any finite or affine Coxeter group W , and we enumerate fully commutative elements according to their Coxeter length. Our approach consists in encoding these elements by various classes of lattice walks, and we then use recursive decompositions of these walks in order to obtain the desired generating functions. In type A, this reproves a theorem of Barcucci et al.; in type Ã, it simplifies and refines results of Hanusa and Jones. For all other finite and affine groups, our results are new. Résumé. Un élément d’un groupe de Coxeter W est dit totalement commutatif si deux de ses décompositions réduites peuvent toujours être reliées par une suite de transpositions de générateurs adjacents qui commutent. Ces éléments ont été étudiés en détail par Stembridge dans le cas où W est fini. Dans ce travail, nous considérons W fini ou affine, et énumérons les éléments totalement commutatifs selon leur longueur de Coxeter. Notre approche consiste à encoder ces éléments par diverses classes de chemins du plan que nous décomposons récursivement pour obtenir les fonctions génératrices voulues. Pour le type A cela redonne un théorème de Barcucci et al.; pour Ã, cela simplifie et précise des résultats de Hanusa et Jones. Pour tous les autres groupes finis et affines, nos résultats sont nouveaux.

On the Fully Commutative Elements of Coxeter Groups

Let W be a Coxeter group. We define an element w ~ W to be fully commutative if any reduced expression for w can be obtained from any other by means of braid relations that only involve commuting generators. We give several combinatorial characterizations of this property, classify the Coxeter groups with finitely many fully commutative elements, and classify the parabolic quotients whose membe...

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

QTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems

In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...

FUZZY CONVEX SUBALGEBRAS OF COMMUTATIVE RESIDUATED LATTICES

In this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. In particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. Then we study fuzzy...

Distributive lattices with strong endomorphism kernel property as direct sums

Unbounded distributive lattices which have strong endomorphism kernel property (SEKP) introduced by Blyth and Silva in [3] were fully characterized in [11] using Priestley duality (see Theorem  2.8}). We shall determine the structure of special elements (which are introduced after  Theorem 2.8 under the name strong elements) and show that these lattices can be considered as a direct product of ...
