Abstract

top
We consider both standard and twisted actions of a (real) Coxeter group G on the complement G to the complexified reflection hyperplanes by combining the reflections with complex conjugation. We introduce a natural geometric class of special involutions in G and give explicit formulae which describe both actions on the total cohomology H * ( G , 𝒞 ) in terms of these involutions. As a corollary we prove that the corresponding twisted representation is regular only for the symmetric group S n , the Weyl groups of type D 2 m + 1 , E 6 and dihedral groups I 2 ( 2 k + 1 ) . We also discuss the relations with the cohomology of Brieskorn’s braid groups.

We introduce a natural geometric class of special involutions in $G$ and give explicit formulae which describe both actions on the total cohomology $H^*(\mathcal {M}_G,\mathcal {C})$ in terms of these involutions. As a corollary we prove that the corresponding twisted representation is regular only for the symmetric group $S_n$, the Weyl groups of type $D_{2m+1}$, $E_6$ and dihedral groups $I_2(2k+1)$.
