Abstract
In a finite Coxeter group W and with two given conjugacy classes of parabolic subgroups [X] and [Y] , we count those parabolic subgroups of W in [Y] that are full support, while simultaneously being simple extensions (i.e., extensions by a single reflection) of some standard parabolic subgroup of W in [X] . The enumeration is given by a product formula that depends only on the two parabolic types. Our derivation is case-free and combines a geometric interpretation of the “full support” property with a double-counting argument involving Crapo's beta invariant. As a corollary, this approach gives the first case-free proof of Chapoton's formula for the number of reflections of full support in a real reflection group W .
