Triangulating the Permutahedron

Group Theory 2026-07-08 v1

Abstract

For a finite irreducible real reflection group, WW, we triangulate its permutahedron and use this to give an explicit homotopy equivalence between two known classifying spaces for the associated Artin group, B(W)B(W). In the process, we characterise the Bruhat intervals from w1w_1 to w2w_2 in WW, where w11w2w_1^{-1}w_2 is a Coxeter element.
