Abstract

We call an element of a Coxeter group a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element if it has a reduced decomposition into a product of reflections that generate a parabolic subgroup. We show that for a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element in an affine Coxeter group the Hurwitz action on its set of reduced decompositions into a product of reflections is transitive.
