 | | The pair (W,S) is a Coxeter system if W is a group with Coxeter presentation , where R consists of the relations (st)^{m(s,t)} where m(s,t)=m(t,s), m(s,t)=1 iff s=t (i.e each generator is order 2) and m(s,t) in {1, 2, 3, …, \infty} (here m(s,t)=\infty, simply means st has infinite order). |
 | | These centralizers and centers are shown to be even Coxeter groups that are convex in (W,S). |
 | | We also show that for an arbitrary Coxeter system (W,S) and single generator s in S, the centralizer of s is convex in (W,S). |
