We extend the usual notion of fully commutative elements from the Coxeter groups to the complex reflection groups. Then we decompose the sets of fully commutative elements into natural subsets according to their combinatorial properties, and investigate the structure of these decompositions. As a consequence, we enumerate and describe the form of these elements in the complex reflection groups.
In this paper, we decompose the set of fully commutative elements into natural subsets when the Coxeter group is of type $D_n$, and study the combinatorics of these subsets, revealing hidden structures. (We do not consider type $A_n$ first, since a similar decomposition for type $A_n$ is trivial.) As an application, we classify and enumerate the homogeneous representations of the Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras of type $D_n$.
The Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier (KLR) algebra arose out of attempts to categorify quantum groups. Kleshchev and Ram proved a result reducing the representation theory of these algebras to the study of irreducible cuspidal representations. In the finite type A, these cuspidal representations are included in the class of homogeneous representations, which are related to fully commutative elements of the corresponding Coxeter groups. In this paper, we study fully commutative elements using combinatorics of Dyck paths. Thereby we classify and enumerate the homogeneous representations for KLR algebras of type A and obtain a dimension formula for these representations from combinatorics of Dyck paths.
