Abstract:
A partition $\mathfrak F$ of a Euclidean space into finite subsets has subgroup property $\mathsf{SP}$ if the family of the convex hulls of the leaves of $\mathfrak F$ constitutes a subgroup with respect to the Minkowski addition. If $\mathfrak F$ consists of orbits of a finite linear groups then $\mathsf{SP}$ is equivalent to the fact that the group is a Coxeter group. In this article, this assertion is proved only under the assumption of continuity and centrality of $\mathfrak F$ (this means that every leaf is inscribed in some sphere centered at zero). An example is given of a noncentered partition satisfying $\mathsf{SP}$ (such partitions cannot be Coxeter partitions).
Key words:
semigroups of polygon, Coxeter groups.
