The parabolic Weyl subgroup $W_{S'} = \langle s : s \in S' \rangle \leq W$ generated by the simple reflections indexed by $S' \subseteq S$.
Instances For
The standard parabolic subgroup $P_{S'} = BW_{S'}B = \bigcup_{w \in W_{S'}} BwB$ in a BN-pair, viewed as a subset of $G$.
Instances For
A subgroup $P \leq G$ is a standard parabolic if $P = P_{S'}$ for some $S' \subseteq S$.
Instances For
A subgroup $P \leq G$ is parabolic if it is a $G$-conjugate of some standard parabolic $P_{S'}$.
Instances For
The package of derived properties of the Bruhat decomposition needed to prove the parabolic theorems: cells are pairwise disjoint and cover $G$, behave well under inversion and multiplication within a parabolic, and the standard parabolics are self-normalizing and pairwise non-conjugate. These are consequences of the BN-pair axioms, collected here for downstream use.

Instances For
Every Bruhat cell $BwB$ is nonempty: pick any $N$-lift $n$ of $w$ to witness it.
If $P$ is closed under multiplication and inverse, $g \in Q$, and $gPg^{-1} = Q$, then $P = Q$: the conjugator $g$ already lies in $P$, so conjugation by $g$ is an automorphism of $P$.
Injectivity of the standard parabolics. Distinct subsets $S_1, S_2 \subseteq S$ give distinct parabolics: if $P_{S_1} = P_{S_2}$ then $S_1 = S_2$. Equivalently, the map $S' \mapsto P_{S'}$ from subsets of $S$ to subgroups of $G$ containing $B$ is injective.
Parabolics are subgroups. Each standard parabolic $P_{S'} = BW_{S'}B$ contains the identity and is closed under multiplication and inverses, so it is a subgroup of $G$.
The Weyl-side description of a subgroup $P$ containing $B$: the set $\{w \in W : BwB \subseteq P\}$. For $P = P_{S'}$ this recovers $W_{S'}$.
