We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Chevalley's theorem for the complex crystallographic groups
Joseph Bernstein, Dimitry A. Leites and Ossip Schwarzman
Abstract
We prove that for the irreducible Coxeter complex crystallographic group $W$ the following conditions are equivalent:
a) $W$ is generated by reflections;
b) the analytic variety $X/W$ is isomorphic to a weighted projective space.
The result is of interest, for example, in application to topological conformal field theory.
