Canonical forms for dihedral and symmetric groups. (English) Zbl 1431.05151

Summary: In this paper we introduce the elementary factorization of the standard OGS for the symmetric group, and show how it encodes the inversion and descent set statistics. Proofs follow from exchange laws for powers of Coxeter elements in the principal flag.
