ABSTRACT
|
|
We define the conjugacy graph of a Coxeter system (W,S) so
that the connected components correspond to the conjugacy classes of
W, and the strongly connected components correspond to a natural
equivalence relation on W. This turns the equivalence classes into a
graded poset, and we investigate when a conjugacy class is a
meet-semilattice. When this happens, there is a natural combinatorial
characterization of the conjugacy classes via an equivalence relation
on labeled heaps. This is joint work with Dana Ernst and Richard
Green.
