Summary: Inspired from graded quiver varieties, we attach a Weyl-like group \(W^{\langle n \rangle}\) to a Cartan matrix and a nonnegative integer \(n\). As the integer varies, we get a projective system. In type \(A_\ell\), the group \(W^{\langle n \rangle}\) is related to reduced Burau representations, and in general to complex reflection groups. Behavior of the longest Weyl group elements in \(W^{\langle n \rangle}\) is studied in detail. The results will be used in the analysis by Li (in preparation) of graded/cyclic quiver varieties in the spirit of [the first author, Represent. Theory 23, 1–56 (2019; Zbl 1403.16009)].
