Abstract

We define a class of representations for any right-angled Coxeter group R and its Hecke algebra H(R). The group R and the algebra H(R) act on any Bruhat interval of any Coxeter system (W,S), once given a suitable function from the set of Coxeter generators of R to the power set of S. The existence of such a function is related to the problem of universality of a graph G2 constructed from the unlabeled Coxeter graph G of (W,S). When G=Pn is a path with n vertices, we conjecture that G2 is n-universal; this property is equivalent to the existence of an action of R and H(R) on the Bruhat intervals of the symmetric group Sn+1, for all right-angled groups with n generators. We prove that (Pn)2 is n-universal for forests. Eulerian polynomials arise as characters of our representations, when the Coxeter graph of R is a path. We also give a formula for the toric h-polynomial of any lower Bruhat interval in a universal Coxeter group Un, using results on the Kazhdan–Lusztig basis of H(Un).
