Nov 22, 2013 at 16:26 comment added Nathan Reading What do you mean by the "rank" of a subgroup? For example, what is the rank of the alternating group inside the symmetric group? Are you considering only certain special subgroups, like parabolic subgroups? A parabolic subgroup has a well-defined rank, but other subgroups? (My apologies if there is some general definition of rank that I don't know.)

Nov 5, 2013 at 8:22 comment added Tom No I am a bit confused specially by the "answer" of Ben.
Nov 4, 2013 at 19:39 comment added Misha Tom: There are other possibilities too. Consider do instance what happens in rank 2 cases.

Nov 4, 2013 at 12:38 comment added Tom If $s_1$ to $s_n$ are the roots and $s_1$ is the root which fixes $x$ then the group generated by $s_2$ to $s_n$ would be what I need. However, is this all that can happen?
Nov 4, 2013 at 9:01 comment added Tom yes, that is what I mean
Nov 2, 2013 at 0:42 comment added S. Carnahan When you say "do not stabilize" do you mean that the stabilizer of $x$ in the subgroup is trivial?
