Bruhat intervals, subword complexes and brick polyhedra for finite Coxeter groups (scientific article; zbMATH DE number 7684548)



Abstract: We study the interplay between the discrete geometry of Bruhat poset intervals and subword complexes of finite Coxeter systems. We establish connections between the cones generated by cover labels for Bruhat intervals and of root configurations for subword complexes, culminating in the notion of brick polyhedra for general subword complexes.


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.
