Bruhat intervals, subword complexes and brick polyhedra for finite Coxeter groups (Q6046547)

The Bruhat interval cone associated with an interval \([x,y]\) in the Bruhat order is the cone spanned by the labels of the atoms in that interval. It was introduced in [\textit{M. J. Dyer}, ibid. 215, No. 2, 223--236 (1994; Zbl 0809.20029)]. This paper develops the relations between these Bruhat cones and the root configurations for subword complexes, including a characterization of the cone as an intersection of cones corresponding to the subword complexes. Brick polytopes were defined in [\textit{V. Pilaud} and \textit{C. Stump}, Adv. Math. 276, 1--61 (2015; Zbl 1405.05196)] for root-independent subword complexes. This paper extends brick polytopes to brick polyhedra over general subword complexes, proving that many properties continue to hold. Each facet in the simplicial complex has a brick vector, and the local cone in the brick polyhedron at a brick vector is the cone over the root configuration; this motivates the definition.
