On fully commutative elements of type $\tilde{B}$ and $\tilde{D}$

Abstract

We define a tower of injections of $\tilde{B}$-type (resp. $\tilde{D}$-type) Coxeter groups $W({\tilde{B}}_n)$ (resp. $W({\tilde{D}}_n)$) for $n\ge 3$. Let $W^c({\tilde{B}}_n)$ (resp. $W^c({\tilde{D}}_n)$) be the set of fully commutative elements in $W({\tilde{B}}_n)$ (resp. $W({\tilde{D}}_n)$), we classify the elements of this set by giving a normal form for them. We define a $\tilde{B}$-type tower of Hecke algebras and we use the faithfulness at the Coxeter level to show that this last tower is a tower of injections. We use this normal form to define two injections from $W^c({\tilde{B}}_{n-1})$ into $W^c({\tilde{B}}_n)$. We then define the tower of affine Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{B}$ and use the injections above to prove the faithfulness of this tower. We follow the same track for $\tilde{D}$-type objects
