Abstract

Let GG be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. Let BB be a Borel subgroup of GG and WW be the associated Weyl group. We show that for any wWw \in W that is not contained in any standard parabolic subgroup of WW, the intersection of the Bruhat cell BwBB w B with any regular conjugacy class of GG is always irreducible. We then prove that the associated Lusztig varieties are irreducible. This extends the previous work of Kim \cite{kim2020homology} on the regular semisimple and regular unipotent elements. The irreducibilitiy result of Lusztig varieties will be used in an upcoming work in the study of affine Lusztig varieties.
