Abstract

We study the decomposition of a generic element gGg \in G of a connected reductive complex algebraic group GG in the form g=N(g)B(g)uˉN(g)1g = N(g) B(g) \bar{u} N(g)^{-1} where N:GNN: G \dashrightarrow \mathcal{N}_- and B:GB+B : G \dashrightarrow \mathcal{B}_+ are rational maps onto a unipotent subgroup N\mathcal{N}_- and a Borel subgroup B+\mathcal{B}_+ opposite to N\mathcal{N}_-, and uˉ\bar{u} is a representative of a Weyl group element uu. We introduce a class of rational Weyl group elements that give rise to such decompositions, and study their various properties.
