Is there a list of Kazhdan-lusztig polynomials?
When studying the combinatorics and representation of Coxeter groups, I often find it irksome to compute KL- and R- polynomials from scratch on Maple or Sage. The time it consumes …

Is there any need to study Coxeter systems (W,S) with S infinite?
In their treatise Groupes et algebres de Lie, Bourbaki (no doubt heavily influenced by Tits) devoted Chapter IV (1968) to the general theory of what they dubbed "Coxeter systems" $ …

Irreducibility of Coxeter Graphs as a Function of Generating Sets
Given a Coxeter system $(W, S)$, we can form its Coxeter graph, and say that the system is irreducible if the graph is connected. Now, irreducibility is not solely a function of $W …

Random walks on Coxeter groups
Let $G_N$ be the group generated by elements $a_1,\ldots,a_N$ subject to the relations $a_i^2=1$ and $(a_ia_j)^3=1$. The growth function of $G_N$ is then
$$f_N(t)=\frac{1+2t+2t^2+t …

Implications of non-negativity of coefficients of arbitrary Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials?
In their seminal 1979 paper here,
Kazhdan and Lusztig studied an arbitrary Coxeter group $(W,S)$ and the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. In particular they showed how to pas …

Kazhdan-Luzstig Polynomials and Lower Intervals in the Bruhat Order
I have read in a number of places that the lower Bruhat interval $[e, w]$ is rank-symmetric if and only if the KL-polynomial $P_{e, w}(q) = 1$. All of the proofs I've come across u …
