The set of reflections of a Coxeter system: all conjugates of simple generators, $T = \{w s_i w^{-1} \mid w \in W,\ i \in B\}$.
Instances For
A single Bruhat step $v \to w$: there exists a reflection $t$ such that $v t = w$ and $\ell(v) < \ell(w)$.
Instances For
The Bruhat order $v \le w$, defined as the reflexive-transitive closure of $\mathtt{BruhatStep}$.
Instances For
The standard parabolic subgroup $W_J$ generated by the simple reflections indexed by $J \subseteq B$.
Instances For
Simple reflections are involutions: $s_i \cdot s_i = 1$.
Simple reflections are self-inverse: $s_i^{-1} = s_i$.
Every reflection $t$ is an involution: $t \cdot t = 1$.
Every reflection is self-inverse: $t^{-1} = t$.
Each simple reflection $s_i$ is itself a reflection in the set $T$.
Reflections are closed under conjugation by simple reflections: if $t \in T$ then $s_i\, t\, s_i \in T$.
Algebraic identity used in the lifting lemma: if $v t = w$ then $(v s_i)(s_i t s_i) = w s_i$.
Multiplication by a reflection is reversible: if $a t = b$ for a reflection $t$, then $b t = a$.
Every reflection has odd length.
Multiplying by a reflection flips the parity of the length: if $v t = w$ and $t \in T$, then $\ell(v)$ and $\ell(w)$ have opposite parities.
A Bruhat step strictly increases length: if $v \to w$ then $\ell(v) < \ell(w)$.
The Bruhat order is compatible with length: $v \le w$ implies $\ell(v) \le \ell(w)$.
Reflexivity of the Bruhat order.
Transitivity of the Bruhat order.
A single Bruhat step witnesses the Bruhat-order inequality.
A right descent gives a Bruhat step: if $\ell(v s_i) < \ell(v)$ then $v s_i \to v$ is a Bruhat step.
Antisymmetry via length: if $v \le w$ and $\ell(v) = \ell(w)$, then $v = w$.
The Strong Exchange Condition specialised to Bruhat covers: when $v < w$ is a Bruhat cover via a reflection $t$ (i.e. $vt = w$ and $\ell(v)+1 = \ell(w)$) and $i$ is a right descent of $w$ but not of $v$, then $v s_i = w$.
Instances For
Bruhat lifting lemma: given a Bruhat cover $v \to w$ via a reflection $t$, if $i$ is not a right descent of $v$ and $v s_i \ne w$, then $i$ is not a right descent of $w$ either, and $v s_i \to w s_i$ is a Bruhat step.
Right multiplication by a simple reflection on a Bruhat step: from $v \to w$ one obtains either $v s_i \le w$ or $v s_i \le w s_i$ in the Bruhat order.
Right multiplication compatibility with the Bruhat order: if $v \le w$ then either $v s_i \le w$ or $v s_i \le w s_i$.
