In complex reflection groups, the reflection length is no longer always equal to the codimension of fixed space, and the two functions give rise to two different partial orders on the group. We characterize the elements $w$ in the combinatorial family $G(m, p, n)$ of complex reflection groups for which the intervals below $w$ in these two posets coincide.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-18T19:04:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex reflection groups", "finite real reflection group", "reflection length", "coincidences", "fixed space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
