令 (W,S) 为 Coxeter 系统和 k 交换环。假设对于所有s∈S,给出k的两个元素、λs和μs,使得当s和s′在W中为共轭时,λs=λs′和μs=μs′。放入E=k(W),并令{ew}为E的典范基。
a) 证明E有唯一代数结构,使得对于s∈S和w∈W,
es⋅ew={eswλsew+μseswif l(sw)>l(w)if l(sw)<l(w)
(introduce the endomorphism Ps of E defined by the above formulas, where es⋅ew is replaced by Ps(w), and the endomorphism Qs=jPsj−1, where j denotes the automorphism of E defined by j(ew)=ew−1; show that PsQt=QtPs for s,t∈S by remarking that the conditions l(swt)=l(w) and l(sw)=l(wt) imply that sw=wt; then argue as in Exerc. 3 c)). 模E,配备此代数结构,将用Ek((λs),(μs))表示。 证明 E((0),(1)) 是 W 的群代数 k[W](代数,第 III, § 2, no. 6 章)。
b) 证明生成元(es)s∈S和关系的家族
es2(eset)r(eset)res=λses+μsfor s∈S=(etes)rfor s,t∈S such that st is of finite even order 2r=(etes)retfor s,t∈S such that st is of finite odd order 2r+1
形式代数 E 的呈现(如§ 1 no. 6 第 1 节证明中的论证)。
