Generalized reflection groups. II (Q1858187)

Let \((G,X)\) be a pair consisting of a group \(G\) and a generating set \(X\) of \(G\). Let \(K\) be a commutative ring and let \(M\) be a \(KG\)-module. The aim of the paper is to answer the question: ``Is it possible to find a \(K\)-algebra \(L\) such that \(M\) is an \(LG\)-module and such that the elements of \(X\) act as reflections of \(M\)?'' It is shown that it is possible for a set of involutions \(X\) if a presentation of \(G\) is known. This work is not a continuation of ``Generalized reflection groups. I: Constructing the algebra'' [Groups and geometries, Proc. Conf., Siena 1996. Birkhäuser, Trends in Mathematics. 251-261 (1998; Zbl 0901.20028)] because in that paper, the axioms are not the same (they are rather awkward).
