Abstract

Let W be a finite Coxeter group and X a subset of W . The length polynomial L_W,X (t) is defined by L_W,X (t) = ∑ x∈X t^{l(x)}, where l is the length function on W. If X = {x ∈ W : x^2 = 1} then we call L_W,X(t) the involution length polynomial of W . In this article we derive expressions for the length polynomial where X is any conjugacy class of involutions, and the involution length polynomial, in any finite Coxeter group W . In particular, these results correct errors in the literature for the involution length polynomials of Coxeter groups of type Bn and Dn.
