References request: reflections in coxeter groups

Let $V$ be a vector space. A reflection is a linear map $f: V \to V$ which has an eigenvalue $1$ with multiplicity $n-1$. Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Then the reflections in …

A question about set of inversion

Let $w \in S_n$ and $inv(w) = \{(i,j): i,j \in \{1,\ldots,n\}, i<j, w(i)>w(j)\}$ the inversion set of $w$. Let ${\bf i}=(i_1,\ldots,i_m)$ be a sequence such that $s_{i_1}\cdots s_{i_m}$ is a reduced e …

Reference for a proof of cancellation property of braid monoids

Let $M$ be a monoid. If $ab=ac$ implies that $b=c$, $a,b,c \in M$, then $M$ is said to have the left cancellation property. Similarly, the right cancellation property is $ba=ca$ implies that $b=c$. …

Coxeter group action on the product of root systems

Let W be a finite Coxeter group and $\Phi^+$ the set of its positive roots. The Coxeter group acts on $\Phi^+$ by $(w, \alpha) \mapsto w \cdot \alpha$ if $w \cdot \alpha \in \Phi^+$ and $(w, \alpha) \ …
