Abstract
For any Coxeter system of rank , we introduce an abstract boolean complex (simplicial poset) of dimension that contains the Coxeter complex as a relative subcomplex. Faces are indexed by triples , where and are subsets of the set of simple generators, and is a minimal length representative for the parabolic double coset . There is exactly one maximal face for each element of the group . The complex is shellable and thin, which implies the complex is a sphere for the finite Coxeter groups. In this case, a natural refinement of the -polynomial is given by the "two-sided" -Eulerian polynomial, i.e., the generating function for the joint distribution of left and right descents in .
