Partial symmetry, reflection monoids and Coxeter groups

Brent Everitt, John Fountain

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection monoids, introduce new examples, and determine their orders. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
