Polygon Posets and the Weak Order of Coxeter Groups

We explore the connection between polygon posets, which is a class of ranked posets with an edge-labeling which satisfies certain polygon properties, and the weak order of Coxeter groups. We show that every polygon poset is isomorphic to a join ideal in the weak order, and for Coxeter groups where no pair of generators have infinite order the converse is also true.The class of polygon posets is seen to include the class of generalized quotients defined by Björner and Wachs, while itself being included in the class of alternative generalized quotients also considered by these authors. By studying polygon posets we are then able to answer an open question about common properties of these two classes.     

Weak Cayley Table Groups II: Alternating Groups and Finite Coxeter Groups

A weak Cayley table isomorphism is a bijection φ: G → H of groups such that φ(xy) ～ φ(x)φ(y) for all x, y ∈ G. Here ～denotes conjugacy. When G = H the set of all weak Cayley table isomorphisms φ: G → G forms a group 𝒲(G) that contains the automorphism group Aut(G) and the inverse map I: G → G, x → x ^?1. Let 𝒲₀(G) = ?Aut(G), I? ≤ 𝒲(G) and say that G has trivial weak Cayley table group if 𝒲(G) = 𝒲₀(G). We show that all finite irreducible Coxeter groups (except possibly E ₈) have trivial weak Cayley table group, as well as most alternating groups. We also consider some sporadic simple groups.

On Groups Generated by Elements of Pirme Order

In the first part of the paper we give a characterization of groups generated by elements of fixed prime order p. In the second part we study the group G _n ^(p) of n × n matrices with the pth power of the determinant equal to 1 over a field F containing a primitive pth root of 1. It is known that the group G _n ⁽²⁾ of n × n matrices of determinant ± 1 over a field F and the group SL _n (F) are generated by their involutions and that each element in these groups is a product of four involutions. We consider some subgroups G of G _n ^(p) and study the following problems: Is G generated by its elements of order p? If so, is every element of G a product of k elements of order p for some fixed integer k? We show that G _n ^(p) and SL _n (F) are generated by their elements of order p and that the bound k exists and is equal to 4. We show that every universal p-Coxeter group has faithful two-dimensional representations over many fields F (including ? and ?). For a universal p-Coxeter group of rank ≥ 2 for p ≥ 3 or of rank ≥ 3 for p = 2 there is no bound k.

Suzuki-Ree群的自同构群的阶分量刻画

在《数学学报》2013年第56卷第4期中,"Suzuki-Ree群的自同构群的一个新刻画"一文证明了Aut(~2F_4(q)),q=2~f和Aut(~2G_2(q)),q=3~f,可由其阶分量刻画,其中f=3~s,s为正整数.本文证明了Aut(~2B_2(q)),q=2~f和Aut(2G2(q)),q=3~f,也可由其阶分量刻画,其中f为奇素数.结合二者得到结论:Suzuki-Ree单群的所有的素图不连通的自同构群皆可由其阶分量刻画.     

On the Rank of Picard Groups of Modular Varieties Attached to Orthogonal Groups

We derive lower bounds for the rank of Picard groups of modular varieties associated with natural congruence subgroups of the orthogonal group of an even lattice of signature (2, l). As an example we consider the Siegel modular group of genus 2. The analytic part of this paper also leads to certain class number identities.

On Some Automorphisms of Orthogonal Groups in Odd Characteristic

In this paper, it is proved that the simple orthogonal groups O _2n+1(q) and O _2n ^± (q) (where q is odd) cannot be automorphism groups of finite left distributive quasigroups. This is a particular case of the conjecture stating that the automorphism group of a left distributive quasigroup is solvable. To complete the proof of the conjecture, one must test all finite groups.

On the Fully Commutative Elements of Coxeter Groups

Let W be a Coxeter group. We define an element w ε 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 members are all fully commutative. As applications of the latter, we classify all parabolic quotients with the property that (1) the Bruhat ordering is a lattice, (2) the Bruhat ordering is a distributive lattice, (3) the weak ordering is a distributive lattice, and (4) the weak ordering and Bruhat ordering coincide.

On the Possible Automorphism Groups of a Steiner Quintuple System of Order 21

A Steiner system is called a Steiner quintuple systems of order v. The smallest order for which the existence, or otherwise, of a Steiner quintuple system is unknown is 21. In this article, we prove that, if an S(4, 5, 21) exists, the order of its full automorphism group is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 10.     

Root Systems for Asymmetric Geometric Representations of Coxeter Groups

Results are obtained concerning root systems for asymmetric geometric representations of Coxeter groups. These representations were independently introduced by Vinberg and Eriksson, and generalize the standard geometric representation of a Coxeter group in such a way as to include certain restrictions of all Kac–Moody Weyl groups. In particular, a characterization of when a nontrivial multiple of a root may also be a root is given in the general context. Characterizations of when the number of such multiples of a root is finite and when the number of positive roots sent to negative roots by a group element is finite are also given. These characterizations are stated in terms of combinatorial conditions on a graph closely related to the Coxeter graph for the group. Other finiteness results for the symmetric case which are connected to the Tits cone and to a natural partial order on positive roots are extended to this asymmetric setting.
