Constructive Membership Tests in Some Infinite Matrix Groups

Alexander Hulpke
Colorado State University

We describe algorithms and heuristics that allow us to express arbitrary elements of SLn(Z) and Sp2n(Z) as products of generators in particular "standard" generating sets. For elements obtained experimentally as random products, it produces product expressions whose lengths are competitive with the input lengths.

 

Subregular $J$-rings of Coxeter systems as quotients of path algebras

Tianjuan Xu
University of Colorado, Boulder

The asymptotic Hecke algebra, or J-ring, of a Coxeter system is an associative algebra closely related to the Hecke algebra of the system. We study a subalgebra JC of J which has a natural basis indexed by the rigid elements of the Coxeter group, where “rigid" means having a unique reduced word. Exploiting the rigidity property, we show that JC can be realized as a certain quotient of the path algebra of the double quiver of the Coxeter diagram of the system. This allows us to use quiver representations to answer representation-theoretical questions about JC, such as when JC is semisimple, in terms of graph-theoretical properties of the Coxeter diagram.
