Special subsets of $G$: left cosets $g \cdot P_{S'}$ of a proper standard parabolic $P_{S'}$ ($S' \subsetneq S$). These index the chambers and facets of the building.
Instances For
The left coset $g \cdot P_{S'}$ of the standard parabolic indexed by $S'$.
Instances For
The fundamental coset at the identity: the standard parabolic $P_{S'}$ itself.
Instances For
The conjugate parabolic $g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ — the image of $P_{S'}$ under conjugation by $g$.
Instances For
If $g P_{S_1} \subseteq h P_{S_2}$ then $g \in h P_{S_2}$, witnessed by some $q \in P_{S_2}$.
Coset inclusion forces inclusion of the underlying parabolics: $g P_{S_1} \subseteq h P_{S_2}$ implies $P_{S_1} \subseteq P_{S_2}$.
The conjugation map descends to cosets: if $g P_{S'} = h P_{S'}$ then $g P_{S'} g^{-1} = h P_{S'} h^{-1}$.
Conjugation respects the inclusion order on coset facets: $g P_{S_1} \subseteq h P_{S_2}$ implies $g P_{S_1} g^{-1} \subseteq h P_{S_2} h^{-1}$.
The type (parabolic-index $S'$) of a coset facet is well-defined: if $g P_{S_1} = h P_{S_2}$ as subsets of $G$, then $S_1 = S_2$. This makes the building's labelling unambiguous.
The fundamental apartment expressed as a set of $B$-cosets: $\{nB : n \in N\}$.
Instances For
The $g$-translate $g \cdot \mathcal{A}$ of the fundamental apartment: $\{(gn)B : n \in N\}$.
Instances For
Equivariance: $(gh) P_{S'} (gh)^{-1} = g \cdot (h P_{S'} h^{-1}) \cdot g^{-1}$.
Left multiplication by $g$ on a coset $h P_{S'}$ gives the coset $(gh) P_{S'}$.
$B$ is contained in every standard parabolic $P_{S'}$.
Right multiplication by $p \in P_{S'}$ does not change the coset: $gP_{S'} = (gp) P_{S'}$.
Building axiom (B1): any two chambers $g_1 B, g_2 B$ lie in a common apartment. Concretely, there exists $g \in G$ such that both $g_1 B$ and $g_2 B$ belong to $g \cdot \mathcal{A}$.
If conjugation by $g$ sends $P_{S_1}$ into $P_{S_2}$, then $g$ itself lies in $P_{S_2}$. A self-normalization property of standard parabolics.
From $g P_{S_1} g^{-1} \subseteq P_{S_2}$ deduce the direct inclusion $P_{S_1} \subseteq P_{S_2}$.
Reverse direction of conjugation_mono: inclusion of conjugate parabolics
$g P_{S_1} g^{-1} \subseteq h P_{S_2} h^{-1}$ implies inclusion of cosets $g P_{S_1} \subseteq h P_{S_2}$.
Equivalence: coset inclusion $\Leftrightarrow$ conjugate-parabolic inclusion. This is the order-preservation half of the poset isomorphism between cosets and conjugate parabolics.

Proper parabolics: conjugates $g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ of proper standard parabolics ($S' \subsetneq S$).
Instances For
Concrete representative of the conjugation map sending a coset $gP_{S'}$ to its conjugate parabolic.
Instances For
Injectivity at the coset level: equal conjugate parabolics force equal cosets.
Bundle theorem: the conjugation map gives a poset isomorphism between the special subsets (left cosets $gP_{S'}$) and proper parabolic subgroups ($gP_{S'}g^{-1}$). Encodes inclusion-iff, well-definedness, injectivity, surjectivity, and equivariance simultaneously.
Choose a group-element representative $g$ such that $X = g P_{S'}$ for a special subset $X$.
Instances For
Choose a parabolic-type representative $S'$ such that $X = g P_{S'}$ for a special subset $X$.
Instances For
Defining property of the chosen representatives: $S' \neq S$ and $X$ equals $g P_{S'}$.
First conjunct of specialSubsetRepr_prop: the chosen $S'$ is a proper subset.
Second conjunct: $X$ equals the coset $g P_{S'}$ formed from the chosen representatives.
Choose a conjugator $g$ such that $Q = g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ for a proper parabolic $Q$.
Instances For
Choose the parabolic type $S'$ such that $Q = g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ for a proper parabolic $Q$.
Instances For
Defining property of the chosen representatives: $S' \neq S$ and $Q$ equals the conjugate parabolic.
The chosen $S'$ is a proper subset.
$Q$ equals the conjugate parabolic $g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ formed from the chosen representatives.
Forward map of the poset isomorphism: a special subset $X = g P_{S'}$ is sent to the proper parabolic $g P_{S'} g^{-1}$.
Instances For
Inverse map of the poset isomorphism: a proper parabolic $Q = g P_{S'} g^{-1}$ is sent back to the coset $g P_{S'}$.
Instances For
Order isomorphism $\text{specialSubsets} \;\simeq_o\; \text{properParabolics}$ realized by conjugation. The two maps are mutual inverses, and inclusion of cosets corresponds to inclusion of conjugate parabolics.
