As a consequence, we characterize the elements for which the action is transitive and give a simple criterion to tell when two shortest reflection factorizations belong to the same Hurwitz orbit. We also characterize the quasi-Coxeter elements (those with a shortest reflection factorization that generates the whole group) in $G(m, p, n)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-05-17T18:31:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex reflection groups", "hurwitz action", "shortest reflection factorizations belong", "enumerate hurwitz orbits", "simple criterion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
