Centralizers of parabolic subgroups of Artin groups of type \(A_l\), \(B_l\), and \(D_l\) (Q1372633): Difference between revisions

Let \((A,\Sigma)\) be a Coxeter system and let \(X\subseteq\Sigma\). The subgroup \(A_X\) of \(A\) generated by \(X\) is called a parabolic subgroup. The author finds a generating set for the centralizer of \(A_X\) in \(A\) in case (i) the Coxeter graph of \(A_X\) is connected (i.e., \(A_X\) is not a nontrivial direct product) and (ii) \(A\) has one of the types \(A_n\), \(B_n\) or \(D_n\).
