Cyclically reduced elements in Coxeter groups

چکیده
Let $W$ be a Coxeter group. We provide precise description of the conjugacy classes in $W$, spirit Matsumoto's theorem. This extends to all groups an important result on finite by M. Geck and G. Pfeiffer from 1993. In particular, we describe cyclically reduced elements thereby proving conjecture A. Cohen 1994.

On the cyclically fully commutative elements of Coxeter groups
Let W be an arbitrary Coxeter group. If two elements have expressions that are cyclic shifts of each other (as words), then they are conjugate (as group elements) in W . We say that w is cyclically fully commutative (CFC) if every cyclic shift of any reduced expression for w is fully commutative (i.e., avoids long braid relations). These generalize Coxeter elements in that their reduced express...
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 کاملPowers of Coxeter Elements in Infinite Groups Are Reduced
Let W be an infinite irreducible Coxeter group with (s1, . . . , sn) the simple generators. We give a simple proof that the word s1s2 · · · sns1s2 · · · sn · · · s1s2 · · · sn is reduced for any number of repetitions of s1s2 · · · sn. This result was proved for simplylaced, crystallographic groups by Kleiner and Pelley using methods from the theory of quiver representations. Our proof only usin...
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 کاملBraided Elements in Coxeter Groups , Ii
We continue the study of freely braided elements of simply laced Coxeter groups, which we introduced in a previous work. A known upper bound for the number of commutation classes of reduced expressions for an element of a simply laced Coxeter group is shown to be achieved only when the element is freely braided; this establishes the converse direction of a previous result. It is also shown that...
