Coxeter Group

A group generated by the elements P_i for i=1, ..., n subject to

where M_(ij) are the elements of a Coxeter matrix. Coxeter used the notation [3^(p,q,r)] for the Coxeter group generated by the nodes of a Y-shaped Coxeter-Dynkin diagram whose three arms have p, q, and r graph edges. A Coxeter group of this form is finite iff
