Abstract

It is known that elliptic Weyl groups, extended affine Weyl groups of nullity 2, have a finite presentation called the generalized Coexter presentation. Similar to the finite and affine case this presentation is obtained by assigning a Dynkin diagram to the root system. Then there is a prescription to read the generators and relations from the diagram. Recently a similar presentation is given for simply laced extended affine Weyl groups of nullity 3 and rank>1. Employing a new method, we complete this work by giving a similar presentation for nullity 3 extended affine Weyl groups of type A 1.
