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.

Famous quotes containing the words complex, reflection and/or groups:
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
“Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
