The isomorphism problem for Coxeter groups

By a recent result obtained by R. Howlett and the author considerable progress has been made towards a complete solution of the isomorphism problem for Coxeter groups. In this paper we give a survey on the isomorphism problem and explain in particular how the result mentioned above reduces it to its `reflection preserving' version. Furthermore we desrcibe recent developments concerning the solution of the latter.Comment: 15 pages, 0 figures, to appear in 'The Coxeter Legacy: Reflections and Projections', Fields Institute Communication

Twist-rigid Coxeter groups

We prove that two angle-compatible Coxeter generating sets of a given finitely generated Coxeter group are conjugate provided one of them does not admit any elementary twist. This confirms a basic case of a general conjecture which describes a potential solution to the isomorphism problem for Coxeter groups.Comment: 28 pages, 1 figur

Cuspidal Calogero-Moser and Lusztig families for Coxeter groups

The goal of this paper is to compute the cuspidal Calogero–Moser families for all infinite families of finite Coxeter groups, at all parameters. We do this by first computing the symplectic leaves of the associated Calogero–Moser space and then by classifying certain “rigid” modules. Numerical evidence suggests that there is a very close relationship between Calogero–Moser families and Lusztig families. Our classification shows that, additionally, the cuspidal Calogero–Moser families equal cuspidal Lusztig families for the infinite families of Coxeter groups
