Left cells in the affine Weyl group of type \(\widetilde C_4\) (Q1265521)

The author finds a representative set of left cells of the affine Weyl group \(W_a\) of type \(\widetilde C_4\) as well as its left cell graphs by applying an algorithm. This algorithm was designed in the author's paper [Tôhoku J. Math., II. Ser. 46, No. 1, 105-124 (1994; Zbl 0798.20040)]. It is reformulated and improved in a more efficient form in the present paper. All these representatives of left cells are presented as the vertices of so-called essential graphs so that the generalized \(\tau\)-invariants of left cells of \(W_a\) are actually described explicitly, the latter almost characterize the left cells of \(W_a\). Finally, he proposes some comments and conjectures on cells of affine Weyl groups, mostly for the case of type \(\widetilde C_l\), \(l\geq 2\).
