Group actions on combinatorial structures (05E18)

Abstract: Let

W

denote a simply-laced Coxeter group with

n

generators. We construct an

n

-dimensional representation

p h i

of

W

over the finite field

F_{2}

of two elements. The action of

p h i (W)

on

F_{2}^{n}

by left multiplication is corresponding to a combinatorial structure extracted and generalized from Vogan diagrams. In each case W of types A, D and E, we determine the orbits of

F_{2}^{n}

under the action of

p h i (W)

, and find that the kernel of

p h i

is the center

Z (W)

of

W .
