Let X be a finite dimensional vector space over the real field U, and suppose that X is equipped with a positive definite inner product. For x e X let wv be the reflection in the hyperplane orthogonal to x, and let H^ be a finite group generated by reflections. Thus Wis a subgroup of 0 {X). Define a root system Z in X corresponding to Win the usual way (see [2] for example), and let I+, I" and n be respectively the positive, negative and fundamental roots relative to some fixed ordering. If K cz fl let WK be the parabolic subgroup (wa\a e K). The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure of Nw {WK), the normalizer of WK in W, in all cases. Some similar results have been obtained by G. Lusztig (in § 5 of" Coxeter Orbits and Eigenspaces of Frobenius" Inventiones Math., 38 (1977), 101-159), and the referee informs me that much of the information about the group W defined below has been obtained by D. Deriziotis (Ph. D. thesis, Warwick University (1977)). For K cz n let ZK be the root system of WK consisting of all elements of£ with support contained in K. For each weW let N (w)={a e I+| w (a) eS"} and let/(w)=\N (w)\(the cardinality of N (w)). The following lemma contains a collection of miscellaneous well known facts required later.
