The absolute order is a natural partial order on a Coxeter group W. It can be viewed as an analogue of the weak order on W in which the role of the generating set of simple reflections in W is played by the set of all reflections in W. By…

In this note, we characterize affine and non-affine Coxeter systems among all Coxeter systems in terms of the structure of their reflection orders. For an infinite irreducible system $(W,S)$, we show that affineness can be characterized in…

We study the appearance of notable interval structures -- lattices, modular lattices, distributive lattices, and boolean lattices -- in both the Bruhat and weak orders of Coxeter groups. We collect and expand upon known results for…

We investigate a poset structure that extends the weak order on a finite Coxeter group $W$ to the set of all faces of the permutahedron of $W$. We call this order the facial weak order. We first provide two alternative characterizations of…

We study the restriction of the absolute order on a Coxeter group $W$ to an interval $[1,w]_T$, where $w\in W$ is an involution. We characterize and classify those involutions $w$ for which $[1,w]_T$ is a lattice, using the notion of…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and let $Z$ be the stabilizer of a nilpotent element $e$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We consider the action of $Z$ on the flag variety of $G$, and we focus on the case where this action has a finite…

This paper first gives a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice $L$ can be represented as the collection of all up-sets of a poset. Applying the condition, it obtains a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice can be…

Let $W$ be an irreducible Coxeter group. We define the Coxeter pop-stack-sorting operator $\mathsf{Pop}:W\to W$ to be the map that fixes the identity element and sends each nonidentity element $w$ to the meet of the elements covered by $w$…

We study the restriction of the strong Bruhat order on an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$ to cosets $x W_L^\theta$, where $x$ is an element of $W$ and $W_L^\theta$ the subgroup of fixed points of an automorphism $\theta$ of order at most two of…

Given an essential semilattice congruence $\equiv$ on the left weak order of a Coxeter group $W$, we define the Coxeter stack-sorting operator ${\bf S}_\equiv:W\to W$ by ${\bf S}_\equiv(w)=w\left(\pi_\downarrow^\equiv(w)\right)^{-1}$, where…

For an $n$-tuple $s$ of non-negative integers, the $s$-weak order is a lattice structure on $s$-trees, generalizing the weak order on permutations. We first describe the join irreducible elements, the canonical join representations, and the…

For a partially ordered set P, we denote by Co(P) the lattice of order-convex subsets of P. We find three new lattice identities, (S), (U), and (B), such that the following result holds. Theorem. Let L be a lattice. Then L embeds into some…

For a Coxeter group (W,S), a permutation of the set S is called a Coxeter word and the group element represented by the product is called a Coxeter element. Moving the first letter to the end of the word is called a rotation and two Coxeter…
