Powers of Coxeter elements with unbounded reflection length (2406.05218v1)

Abstract: For Coxeter groups with sufficiently large braid relations, we prove that the sequence of powers of a Coxeter element has unbounded reflection length. We establish a connection between the reflection length functions on arbitrary Coxeter groups and the reflection length functions on universal Coxeter groups of the same rank through the solution to the word problem for Coxeter groups. For Coxeter groups corresponding to a Coxeter matrix with the same entry everywhere except the diagonal, upper bounds for the reflection length of the powers of Coxeter elements are established.
