Subexpressions and the Bruhat order for double cosets

Combinatorics 2024-01-08 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

The Bruhat order on a Coxeter group is often described by examining subexpressions of a reduced expression. We prove that an analogous description applies to the Bruhat order on double cosets. This establishes the compatibility of the Bruhat order on double cosets with concatenation, leading to compatibility between the monoidal structure and the ideal of lower terms in the singular Hecke 2-category. We also prove other fundamental properties of this ideal of lower terms.

Comments

V2: Added a few new minor helpful results about the Bruhat order. Added a major portion of the paper which proves that the ideal of lower terms can be studied in several ways. Changed the introduction accordingly
