In this paper we define a larger class of ``quasiparabolic\" subgroups (more generally, quasiparabolic W-sets), and show that they also inherit these properties. Our motivating example is the action of the symmetric group on fixed-point-free involutions by conjugation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-08-05T18:48:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coxeter group", "permutation representation", "standard parabolic subgroup inherits", "nice properties", "shellable bruhat order" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1008.1037R" } } }
