Abstract

We prove that the Osterwalder–Schrader axioms, reflection positivity, CPT invariance, and positive mass gap hold not just for the symmetric groups (type A), but for every finite Coxeter group: types A, B, D, E, F, H, and I₂(m). The key results are: (1) The spectral gap of the Cayley graph Laplacian satisfies the universal formula λ₁ = 2 − 2cos(π/h), where h is the Coxeter number. (2) Transfer matrix reflection positivity is automatic from the semigroup property T(2t) = T(t)², requiring no type-specific argument. (3) The sign character (determinant) of every Coxeter group provides CPT invariance via ε·L·ε = 2K·I − L. All claims are verified computationally for 14 Coxeter types (A₂–A₃, B₂–B₄, D₃–D₄, H₃, F₄, I₂(3–8)) and formalized in Lean 4.
