Review text

This paper discusses a particular topic concerning the classification of complex reflection groups. \textit{A.~M. Cohen} already classified the finite complex reflection groups by means of root graphs and complex root systems [Ann. Sci. Ec. Norm. Supér., IV. Sér. 9, 379-436 (1976; Zbl 0359.20029)]. The author [Commun. Algebra 18, No. 12, 3999-4029 (1990; Zbl 0726.20028)] determined all vector graphs of rank greater than two, with zero determinant having Cohen's root graphs as subgraphs. In this paper it is proved that many of these vector graphs are equivalent (i.e., inducing the same reflection group). Subsequently, a presentation of root systems, primary subsystems and extended Cohen diagrams for complex reflection groups is given. Finally, the author applies his algorithm [given in loc. cit.] for finding subsystems of a given root system, illustrating the importance of using equivalent diagrams.
