$B \subseteq P_{S'}$ via the trivial cell $B = B \cdot 1 \cdot B$ in $P_{S'} = \bigcup_{w \in W_{S'}} BwB$.
Standard parabolics are closed under multiplication: $P_{S'} \cdot P_{S'} \subseteq P_{S'}$.
Follows from CellMulParabolic.cell_mul_in_parabolic_from_bnpair.
Standard parabolics are closed under inversion: if $x \in BwB \subseteq P_{S'}$ then $x^{-1} \in Bw^{-1}B$, and $w^{-1} \in W_{S'}$ still.
Key technical lemma for self-normalization. Let $Q$ be a subgroup containing $B$, and let $n$ be an $N$-lift of $w \in W$ such that $nBn^{-1} \subseteq Q$. Then $n \in Q$. Proved by induction on the length of $w$, using a "BN3"-style trick: descend by a simple reflection and use that conjugates of the cell of a simple reflection produce $B$ or $BsB$ elements that already lie in $Q$.
Strengthening of N_lift_mem_subgroup_of_conj: under the same hypotheses, the entire
Bruhat cell $BwB$ is contained in $Q$, not just the chosen lift $n$.
Standard parabolics are self-normalizing. If $g \in G$ satisfies
$gP_{S'}g^{-1} = P_{S'}$ in the sense that conjugation by $g$ preserves membership in
$P_{S'}$, then $g \in P_{S'}$. Equivalently $N_G(P_{S'}) = P_{S'}$.
Proof: write $g = b_1 n b_2$ by Bruhat, deduce that $n$ normalizes $B$ modulo $P_{S'}$,
and apply bruhatCell_sub_of_conj to conclude that the entire cell $BwB$ (and hence $g$)
lies in $P_{S'}$.
The Borel $B$ is contained in the subgroup generated by any Bruhat cell $BwB$: write $b = n^{-1} \cdot (nb)$ where $n$ and $nb$ both lie in the cell.
If $BwB \subseteq Q$ for a subgroup $Q$ containing $B$, then $w \in W_{S_Q}$ where
$S_Q = \{s : BsB \subseteq Q\}$. Specialization of w_mem_parabolicW_of_cell_sub to the
canonical $S' = S_Q$.
Specializing bruhatCell_generators_in_subgroup to $Q = \langle BwB \rangle$: the
element $w$ lies in the parabolic Weyl subgroup generated by those simple reflections $s$
whose cell $BsB$ is already inside $\langle BwB \rangle$.
An $N$-lift of a simple reflection $s$ lies in $\langle BwB \rangle$ whenever the
simple cell $BsB$ does. Direct from lift_mem_bruhatCell.
The conjugate Borel $n^{-1} B n = \{n^{-1} b n : b \in B\}$ as a subset of $G$, used to present $\langle BwB \rangle$ as $\langle B \cup n^{-1}Bn \rangle$.
Instances For
One inclusion of the equality $\langle BwB \rangle = \langle B \cup n^{-1}Bn \rangle$:
every element of $BwB$ already lies in $\langle B \cup n^{-1}Bn \rangle$. Uses
N_lift_mem_subgroup_of_conj applied to $n^{-1}$.
The other inclusion: $\langle B \cup n^{-1}Bn \rangle \leq \langle BwB \rangle$. Both generating sets lie in $\langle BwB \rangle$ since $n \in BwB$ and $B \subseteq \langle BwB \rangle$.
Generating description of $\langle BwB \rangle$. The subgroup of $G$ generated by
the Bruhat cell $BwB$ coincides with the subgroup generated by $B \cup n^{-1}Bn$, for any
choice of $N$-lift $n$ of $w$. Combines bruhatCell_sub_closure_B_conjB and
