Computing Reflection Length in an Affine Coxeter Group
Séminaire lotharingien de combinatoire, 80B (2018)
In any Coxeter group, the conjugates of elements in its Coxeter generating set are called reflections and the reflection length of an element is its length with respect to this expanded generating set. In this article we give a simple formula that computes the reflection length of any element in any affine Coxeter group. In the affine symmetric group, we have a combinatorial formula that generalizes D\'enes' formula for reflection length in the symmetric group.
