Admissible Sequences for Twisted Involutions in Weyl Groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Let $W$ be a Weyl group, $\sum $ a set of simple reflections in $W$ related to a basis $\Delta $ for the root system $\Phi $ associated with $W$ and $\theta $ an involution such that $\theta (\Delta )\,=\,\Delta $. We show that the set of $\theta $- twisted involutions in $W$, ${{\mathcal{J}}_{\theta }}\,=\,\{w\,\in \,W\,|\,\theta (w)\,=\,{{w}^{-1}}\}$ is in one to one correspondence with the set of regular involutions ${{\mathcal{J}}_{\text{ID}}}$. The elements of ${{\mathcal{J}}_{\theta }}$ are characterized by sequences in $\sum $ which induce an ordering called the Richardson–Springer Poset. In particular, for $\Phi $ irreducible, the ascending Richardson–Springer Poset of ${{\mathcal{J}}_{\theta }}$, for nontrivial $\theta $ is identical to the descending Richardson–Springer Poset of ${{\mathcal{J}}_{\text{ID}}}$.
