Presentation by conjugation for -type extended affine Weyl groups

Abstract: There is a well-known presentation for finite and affine Weyl groups called the presentation by conjugation. Recently, it has been proved that this presentation holds for certain sub-classes of extended affine Weyl groups, the Weyl groups of extended affine root systems. In particular, it is shown that if nullity is ⩽2, an -type extended affine Weyl group has the presentation by conjugation. We set up a general framework for the study of simply laced extended affine Weyl groups. As a result, we obtain certain necessary and sufficient conditions for an -type extended affine Weyl group of arbitrary nullity to have the presentation by conjugation. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture that there are extended affine Weyl groups which are not presented by “presentation by conjugation.” [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
