On the Hurwitz action in finite Coxeter groups (Q528913): Difference between revisions

The authors deal with the dual approach to Coxeter groups as introduced by \textit{D. Bessis} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 36, No. 5, 647--683 (2003; Zbl 1064.20039)], \textit{T. Brady} [Adv. Math. 161, No. 1, 20--40 (2001; Zbl 1011.20040)], and \textit{T. Brady} and \textit{C. Watt} [Geom. Dedicata 94, 225--250 (2002; Zbl 1053.20034)]. A dual Coxeter system is a Coxeter group together with the generating set of conjugates of all the elements of a simple system and a set of relations between these generators. The authors provide a necessary and sufficient condition on an element of a finite Coxeter group to ensure the transitivity of the Hurwitz action on its set of reduced decompositions. The main result that the authors obtain is the following: Theorem 1.1. Let \((W, T)\) be a finite, dual Coxeter system of rank \(n\) and let \(w \in W\). The Hurwitz action on \(\text{Red}_T (w)\) is transitive if and only if \(w\) is a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element for \((W, T)\).
