Generalization of the centralizer theorem for parabolic subgroups in Coxeter groups
Generalization of the centralizer theorem for parabolic subgroups in Coxeter groups
Let be a Coxeter system and let . Write for the standard parabolic subgroup generated by , let denote the corresponding subspace of the geometric representation, let be the subgroup of introduced in the paper, and let be the finite-type part of the perpendicular subgroup . For , write for the reflection associated with .
Generalized centralizer theorem. For arbitrary , if and , then for every . Consequently, every element of commutes with every element of .
The claim removes the theorem's restriction that have no irreducible components of type for , and would extend the description of centralizers of standard parabolic subgroups in general Coxeter groups. The source presents it as an assertion the author believes but whose proof has not been given; its resolution is not established here.
