Standard involutions conjugate to the negative of a standard involution in a Coxeter group

Consider a finite irreducible Coxeter group $W$ with a fixed generator set $S$. Every involution in $W$ is conjugate to a standard involution $c_I$, for some subset $I\subset S$. For example, this st …

Standard involutions conjugate to the negative of a standard involution in a Coxeter group

Partial answer Concerning the particular example in the question, $-c_{\{1\}}$ is conjugate to $c_{\{1,3,4,5\}}$, and $-c_{\{5\}}$ is conjugate to $-c_{\{1,2,3,4\}}$. This can almost be deduced from …

Standard involutions conjugate to the negative of a standard involution in a Coxeter group

Here is another approach to identify the conjugay class of the specific involution $-c_{\{1\}}$ in the question. The approach is complementary to my other answer in that it also allows the determina …
