On intersections of conjugacy classes and Bruhat cells.

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For a connected complex semi-simple Lie group G and a fixed pair (B,B) of opposite Borel subgroups of G, we determine when the intersection of a conjugacy class C in G and a double coset BwB is non-empty, where w is in the Weyl group W of G. The question comes from Poisson geometry, and our answer is in terms of the Bruhat order on W and an involution mcinW associated to C. We study properties of the elements mc. For G=SL(n+1,Cset), we describe mc explicitly for every conjugacy class C, and for the case when winW is an involution, we also give an explicit answer to when Ccap(BwB) is non-empty.
