Comments on: Anders Bjoerner and Francesco Brenti, Affine permutations of type A
Comment by Marc van Leeuwen, CWI, Amsterdam (December 11, 1996):
-
at the end of section 3 (page 10) it is claimed that all maximal parabolic
subgroups are isomorphic, and even conjugate. The first is true, the
second is not (despite the fact that for $n>2$ all $n$ generators $s_i$
are individually conjugate).
-
In equation (10), the variable $i$ should run over all integers, rather
than the positive ones, in order to get obtain right value for negative $j$
(in particular to ensure that $\Inv_j(\sigma)=\Inv_{j+n}(\sigma)$ as
claimed shortly after the equation).
