The aim of this note is to prove that the parabolic closure of any subset of a Coxeter group is a parabolic subgroup. To obtain that, several technical lemmas on the root system of a parabolic subgroup are established.

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…

We introduce and study a combinatorially defined notion of root basis of a (real) root system of a possibly infinite Coxeter group. Known results on conjugacy up to sign of root bases of certain irreducible finite rank real root systems are…

In this paper, we investigate various properties of strong and weak twisted Bruhat orders on a Coxeter group. In particular, we prove that any twisted strong Bruhat order on an affine Weyl group is locally finite, strengthening a result of…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…

We classify surjective lattice homomorphisms $W\to W'$ between the weak orders on finite Coxeter groups. Equivalently, we classify lattice congruences $\Theta$ on $W$ such that the quotient $W/\Theta$ is isomorphic to $W'$. Surprisingly,…

We provide an algorithm to construct a multicomplex for any lower Bruhat interval of $F_4$, such that its rank--generating function equals that of the Bruhat interval. For Weyl groups, it is always possible to find such a multicomplex…

Weak Bruhat interval modules of the $0$-Hecke algebra in type $A$ provide a uniform approach to studying modules associated with noteworthy families of quasisymmetric functions. Recently this kind of modules were generalized from type $A$…

We refine a conjecture by Lehrer and Solomon on the structure of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a finite Coxeter group $W$ and relate it to the descent algebra of $W$. As a result, we claim that both the group algebra of $W$, as well as the…

We extend the facial weak order from finite Coxeter groups to central hyperplane arrangements. The facial weak order extends the poset of regions of a hyperplane arrangement to all its faces. We provide four non-trivially equivalent…

We lay the foundations of the first-order model theory of Coxeter groups. Firstly, with the exception of the $2$-spherical non-affine case (which we leave open), we characterize the superstable Coxeter groups of finite rank, which we show…

Let $\cX$ be a family of subsets of a finite set $E$. A matroid on $E$ is called an $\cX$-matroid if each set in $\cX$ is a circuit. We consider the problem of determining when there exists a unique maximal $\cX$-matroid in the weak order…

Let (W, S) be a Coxeter system. We investigate combinatorially certain partial orders, called extended Bruhat orders, on a (W x W)-set W(N,C), which depends on W, a subset N of S, and a component C of N. We determine the length of the…
