    On reflection subgroups of finite Coxeter groups
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011) Douglass, J. Matthew; Pfeiffer, Götz; Röhrle, Gerhard
    Let W be a finite Coxeter group. We classify the reflection subgroups of W up to conjugacy and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map that assigns to a reflection subgroup R of W the conjugacy class of its Coxeter elements to be injective, up to conjugacy.

    Coxeter arrangements and Solomon's descent algebra
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011) Douglass, J. Matthew; Pfeiffer, Götz; Röhrle, Gerhard
    In our recent paper [3], we claimed that both the group algebra of a finite Coxeter group W as well as the Orlik-Solomon algebra of W can be decomposed into a sum of induced one-dimensional representations of centralizers, one for each conjugacy class of elements of W, and gave a uniform proof of this claim for symmetric groups. In this note we outline an inductive approach to our conjecture. As an application of this method, we prove the inductive version of the conjecture for nite Coxeter groups of rank up to 2.
