Well-generated Complex Reflection Groups
An irreducible complex reflection group of rank is generated by or by reflections. It is said to be well-generated if it is generated by reflections ; it is proved that this is equivalent to the property for all . For irreducible well-generated complex reflection groups, the Coxeter number is defined to be the largest degree, . A reducible complex reflection group is said to be well-generated if it is a product of irreducible well-generated complex reflection groups. Any finite real reflection group is well-generated.

“It’s a complex fate, being an American, and one of the responsibilities it entails is fighting against a superstitious valuation of Europe.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“If the contemplation, even of inanimate beauty, is so delightful; if it ravishes the senses, even when the fair form is foreign to us: What must be the effects of moral beauty? And what influence must it have, when it embellishes our own mind, and is the result of our own reflection and industry?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
