Some translations in the second lowest two-sided cell of an affine Weyl group (2012.13221v1)

Abstract: We are interested in cell properties of translations in affine Weyl groups. We find out some translations in the second lowest two-sided cell of an affine Weyl group and use the translations to formulate a refinement of Jianyi Shi's conjecture on the number of left cells in the second lowest two-sided cell. We verify the refinement for an affine Weyl group of type $\tilde A_{n-1}$ and type $\tilde G_2$.
