Annexes in affine Coxeter complexes

Group Theory 2026-03-17 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We introduce the annex of an element xx in a Coxeter group as the set of elements yy such that xyx \nleq y with respect to Bruhat order. This notion provides a complementary perspective to the study of Bruhat intervals and their interpretation via folded galleries. We establish general properties of annexes and show that in affine Coxeter groups the annex of any fixed element is finite. In rank-two affine Coxeter complexes, we further describe the geometric structure of annex boundaries using descent sets and configurations of parallel reflections. These results offer a new geometric viewpoint on the structure of the Bruhat order.
