Abstract:
Coxeter groups, more commonly known as reflection-generated groups, have numerous applications in various fields of mathematics and beyond. Groups with Fischer's 3-transpositions are also related to many structures: finite simple groups, triple graphs, geometries of various spaces, Lie algebras, etc. The intersection of these classes of groups consists of finite Weyl groups W(An)≃Sn+1, W(Dn), and W(En) (n=6,7,8) of simple finite-dimensional algebras and Lie groups. The paper continues the study of the connection between the finite groups Sp2l(2) and O±2l(2) from clauses (ii)–(iii) of Fischer's theorem and infinite Coxeter groups. The organizing basis of the connection under study is general Coxeter tree graphs Γn with vertices 1,…,n. To each vertex i of the graph Γn, we assign the generating involution (reflection) si of the Coxeter group Gn, the basis vector ei of the space Vn over the field F2 of two elements, and the generating transvection wi of the subgroup Wn=⟨w1,…,wn⟩ of SL(Vn)=SLn(2). The graph Γn corresponds to exactly one Coxeter group of rank n: Gn=⟨s1,…,sn∣(sisj)mij,mij≤3⟩, where mii=1, 1≤i<j≤n, and mij=3 or mij=2 depending on whether Γn contains the edge (i,j). The form defined by the graph Γn turns Vn into an orthogonal space whose isometry group Wn is generated by the mentioned transvections (3-transpositions) w1,…,wn; in this case, the relations (wiwj)mij=1 hold in Wn and, therefore, the mapping si→wi (i=1,…,n) is continued to the surjective homomorphism Gn→Wn. In the authors' previous paper, for all groups Wn=O±2l(2) (n=2l≥6) and Wn=Sp2l(2) (n=2l+1≥7), an algorithm was given for enumerating the corresponding tree graphs Γn by grouping them according to E-series of nested graphs. In the present paper, a close genetic connection is established between the groups O±2l(2) and Sp2l(2)×Z2 (3≤l≤10) and the corresponding (infinite) Coxeter groups Gn with the difference in their genetic codes by exactly one gene (relation). For the groups Wn with the graphs Γn from the E-series {En}, {In}, {Jn}, and {Kn}, additional word relations are written explicitly.
