Abstract: A finite Coxeter group $W$ has a natural metric $d$ and if $mathcalM$ is a subset of $W$, then for each $uinW$, there is $qinmathcalM$ such that $d(u,q)=d(u,mathcalM)$. Such $q$ is not unique in general but if $mathcalM$ is a Coxeter matroid, then it is unique, and we define a retraction $mathcal{R}_{mathcalM}^{m}colonWomathcalMsubsetW$ so that $mathcal{R}_{mathcalM}^m(u)=q$. The $T$-fixed point set $Y^T$ of a $T$-orbit closure $Y$ in a flag variety $G/B$ is a Coxeter matroid, where $G$ is a semisimple algebraic group, $B$ is a Borel subgroup, and $T$ is a maximal torus of $G$ contained in $B$. We define a retraction $mathcal{R}_Y^{g}colonWo{Y}^{T}subsetW$ geometrically, where $W$ is the Weyl group of $G$, and show that $mathcal{R}_Y^g=mathcal{R}_{Y^T}^m$. We introduce another retraction $mathcal{R}_{mathcalM}^{a}colonWomathcalMsubsetW$ algebraically for an arbitrary subset $mathcalM$ of $W$ when $W$ is a Weyl group of classical Lie type, and show that $mathcal{R}_{mathcalM}^a=mathcal{R}_{mathcalM}^m$ when $mathcalM$ is a Coxeter matroid.
