Abstract

We study the restriction of the strong Bruhat order on an arbitrary Coxeter group WW to cosets xWLθx W_L^\theta, where xx is an element of WW and WLθW_L^\theta the subgroup of fixed points of an automorphism θ\theta of order at most two of a standard parabolic subgroup WLW_L of WW. When θid\theta\neq\mathrm{id}, there is in general more than one element of minimal length in a given coset, and we explain how to relate elements of minimal length. We also show that elements of minimal length in cosets are exactly those elements which are minimal for the restriction of the Bruhat order.
