Commuting involution graphs in classical affine Weyl groups

Publication date 3 September 2020

Abstract: In this paper we investigate commuting involution graphs in classical affine Weyl groups. Let

W

be a classical Weyl group of rank

n

, with

i l d e W

its corresponding affine Weyl group. Our main result is that if

X

is a conjugacy class of involutions in

i l d e W

, then the commuting involution graph

m a t h c a l C (i l d e W, X)

is either disconnected or has diameter at most

n + 2

. This bound is known to hold for types

i l d e A_{n}

and

i l d e C_{n}

, so the main work of this paper is to prove the theorem for types

i l d e B_{n}

and

i l d e D_{n}

.
