Abstract

Given a dual Coxeter system (W, T) of rank n, the Hurwitz action of the braid group on the reduced T-decompositions of a Coxeter element is transitive. When we choose a geometric representation of W, the reflections with respect to the n walls of one given chamber form a generating set S that we call cameral. An ordering of S is called a cameral decomposition and the product a cameral Coxeter element, which depends only on the quiver obtained by orienting the Coxeter diagram with vertices S according to the ordering. We show that the reduced decompositions of a cameral Coxeter elements for which the underlying set S satisfies that (W, S ) is a Coxeter system, are necessarily cameral, and we count the number of chambers from which a cameral Coxeter element can be obtained. We show that one can go through all these chambers using the restricted Hurwitz action on the set of cameral decompositions, which is generated by transpositions of adjacent commuting reflections and by the Garside element δ of the dual Garside structure, which acts by a quiver mutation of the orientation of the Coxeter diagram.

Factorizations of finite groups

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots A_k$. The main results are as follows. 1. (Theorem 1.1) For every integer $k\geq3$ there exists a finite group $G$ such that $G$ is not $k$-factorizable. 2. (Theorem 1.2) Let $G$ be a finite group of order $4m$. If a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$ is elementary abelian and all involutions of $G$ are conjugate, then $G$ has no factorization of the form $G=ABC$ with $|A|=|C|=2$ and $|B|=m$. 3. Only $8$ groups of order at most $100$ fail to be $k$-factorizable for some $k$ (Theorem 1.3).

Spherical and affine Artin groups, finite quotients, and the isomorphism problem

We compute the smallest non-abelian quotients of spherical and affine Artin groups. Usually, these are isomorphic to the smallest non-abelian quotients of the corresponding Coxeter groups. As applications, we deduce that two affine Artin groups are isomorphic if and only if their Coxeter diagrams are isomorphic and that irreducible spherical Artin groups are distinguished from each other by their finite quotient groups.
