Abstract

Let GG be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field and let WW be its Weyl group. In a series of papers, Lusztig introduced a map from the set [W][W] of conjugacy classes of WW to the set [Gu][G_u] of unipotent classes of GG. This map, when restricted to the set of elliptic conjugacy classes [We][W_e] of WW, is injective. In this paper, we show that Lusztig's map [We][Gu][W_e] \to [G_u] is order-reversing, with respect to the natural partial order on [We][W_e] arising from combinatorics and the natural partial order on [Gu][G_u] arising from geometry.
