On dominance and minuscule Weyl group elements

Qëndrim R. Gashi and Travis Schedler

DOI: 10.1007/s10801-010-0248-2

Abstract

Fix a Dynkin graph and let λ  be a coweight. When does there exist an element w of the corresponding Weyl group such that w is λ -minuscule and w( λ ) is dominant? We answer this question for general Coxeter groups. We express and prove these results using a variant of Mozes' game of numbers.

Pages: 383–399

Keywords: keywords dominant weights; minuscule Weyl group elements; numbers game with a cutoff
