The set of permutations on a finite set can be given the lattice structure known as the weak Bruhat order. This lattice structure is generalized to the set of words on a fixed alphabet $\Sigma$ = {x,y,z,...}, where each letter has a fixed…
Let (W,S) be a crystallographic Coxeter group (this includes all finite and affine Weyl groups), and J a subset of S. Let $W^J$ denote the set of minimal coset representatives modulo the parabolic subgroup $W_J$. For w in $W^J$, let…
This paper provides some evidence for conjectural relations between extensions of (right) weak order on Coxeter groups, closure operators on root systems, and Bruhat order. The conjecture focused upon here refines an earlier question as to…
In this paper, we study the decomposition of Bruhat intervals in a Coxeter group with respect to cosets of a parabolic subgroup. Our main result is that the intersection of a lower Bruhat interval with a parabolic coset contains a unique…
We introduce the class of linearly shellable pure simplicial complexes. The characterizing property is the existence of a labeling of their vertices such that all linear extensions of the Bruhat order on the set of facets are shelling…
The higher Bruhat order is a poset of cubical tilings of a cyclic zonotope whose covering relations are cubical flips. For a 2-dimensional zonotope, the higher Bruhat order is isomorphic to a poset on commutation classes of reduced words…
Bj\"orner-Ekedahl prove that general intervals $[e,w]$ in Bruhat order are "top-heavy", with at least as many elements in the $i$-th corank as the $i$-th rank. Well-known results of Carrell and of Lakshmibai-Sandhya give the equality case:…
The higher Bruhat orders are partial orders that generalize the weak order on the symmetric group $S_n$, and the second higher Bruhat order is a poset on commutation classes of reduced words for the longest element in $S_n$, where covering…
We introduce two order relations on finite Coxeter groups which refine the absolute and the Bruhat order, and establish some of their main properties. In particular we study the restriction of these orders to noncrossing partitions and show…
The weak Bruhat order on $ { \mathcal S }_n $ is the partial order $\prec$ so that $\sigma \prec \tau$ whenever the set of inversions of $\sigma$ is a subset of the set of inversions of $\tau$. We investigate the time complexity of…
The boolean elements of a Coxeter group have been characterized and shown to possess many interesting properties and applications. Here we introduce "prism permutations," a generalization of those elements, characterizing the prism…
In this paper we introduce abstract string modules and give an explicit bijection between the submodule lattice of an abstract string module and the perfect matching lattice of the corresponding abstract snake graph. In particular, we make…
For affine Weyl groups and elements associated to dominant coweights, we present a convex geometry formula for the size of the corresponding lower Bruhat intervals. Extensive computer calculations for these groups have led us to believe…
Let $(W,S)$ be an arbitrary Coxeter system. For each word $\omega$ in the generators we define a partial order--called the {\sf $\omega$-sorting order}--on the set of group elements $W_\omega\subseteq W$ that occur as subwords of $\omega$.…
We define a natural lattice structure on all subsets of a finite root system that extends the weak order on the elements of the corresponding Coxeter group. For crystallographic root systems, we show that the subposet of this lattice…
In this article, we investigate the set of $\gamma$-sortable elements, associated with a Coxeter group $W$ and a Coxeter element $\gamma\in W$, under Bruhat order, and we denote this poset by $\mathcal{B}_{\gamma}$. We show that this poset…
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…
We introduce the annex of an element $x$ in a Coxeter group as the set of elements $y$ such that $x \nleq y$ with respect to Bruhat order. This notion provides a complementary perspective to the study of Bruhat intervals and their…
We provide a weaker version of the generalized lifting property which holds in complete generality for all finite Coxeter groups, and we use it to show that every parabolic Bruhat interval of a finite Coxeter group is a Coxeter matroid. We…
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…
