    Abstract

    In Involution products in Coxeter groups [J. Group Theory 14 (2011), no. 2, 251–259], Theorem 2.4 states a well-known result on Coxeter groups which gives conditions under which the stabilizer of a nonzero vector is a proper parabolic subgroup. However the hypothesis of this result is incorrectly stated in our paper: it holds for finite Coxeter groups but is not true in general for infinite Coxeter groups. We are grateful to an anonymous referee of a subsequent paper for pointing this out. As a consequence, the proof of Theorem 1.1 in that paper, which uses Theorem 2.4, is incomplete. Here we complete the proof of Theorem 1.1 without recourse to Theorem 2.4.
