A gallery is minimal between $C$ and $D$ if it connects them with length equal to the gallery distance.
Instances For
Crossing a wall $\eta$ from a chamber $D_0$ in $\eta^+$ to a chamber $D'$ in $\eta^-$ across a face $F$ increases the gallery distance to $C_{\text{meet}}$ by exactly one.
Replacement principle: any chamber $D$ adjacent to $D_0$ across the same face $F$ inherits the same gallery distance relation to $C_{\text{meet}}$ as $D'$.
Combination of coxeter_wall_crossing_gallery_dist and reduced_type_gallery_replacement:
both $D$ and $D'$ are at distance $\text{dist}(C_{\text{meet}}, D_0) + 1$.
A simplicial map $A' → A$ between apartments that fixes the intersection pointwise
acts as the identity on every simplex of $A'$ — basically AptIsoFixesIntersection.
Gallery distance is invariant under apartments with the same face set.
The retraction of an apartment $A'$ onto a sector's apartment along $S$ preserves the gallery distance between two chambers $X, Y$ of $A'$.
The sector retraction is non-stuttering: chambers $D, D'$ on opposite sides of the wall $\eta$ are mapped to distinct chambers from $D_0$.
Simplicial maps between apartments preserve maximal faces (chambers).
Under a simplicial map between apartments, chambers map to chambers and faces to faces — a packaged convenience lemma.
