Fixed Points of Involutive Automorphisms of the Bruhat Order
نویسنده
چکیده
Applying a classical theorem of Smith, we show that the poset property of being Gorenstein∗ over Z2 is inherited by the subposet of fixed points under an involutive poset automorphism. As an application, we prove that every interval in the Bruhat order on (twisted) involutions in an arbitrary Coxeter group has this property, and we find the rank function. This implies results conjectured by F. Incitti. We also show that the Bruhat order on the fixed points of an involutive automorphism induced by a Coxeter graph automorphism is isomorphic to the Bruhat order on the fixed subgroup viewed as a Coxeter group in its own right.

Automorphism Group of a Possible 2-(121, 16, 2) Symmetric Design
Let D be a symmetric 2-(121, 16, 2) design with the automorphism group of Aut(D). In this paper the order of automorphism of prime order of Aut(D) is studied, and some results are obtained about the number of fixed points of these automorphisms. Also we will show that |Aut(D)|=2p 3q 5r 7s 11t 13u, where p, q, r, s, t and u are non-negative integers such that r, s, t, u ? 1. In addition we prese...
متن کاملFixed Points of Zircon Automorphisms
A zircon is a poset in which every principal order ideal is finite and equipped with a so-called special matching. We prove that the subposet induced by the fixed points of any automorphism of a zircon is itself a zircon. This provides a natural context in which to view recent results on Bruhat orders on twisted involutions in Coxeter groups. 1. Background and results Let P be a partially order...
متن کاملTrees and Reflection Groups
We define a reflection in a tree as an involutive automorphism whose set of fixed points is a geodesic and prove that, for the case of a homogeneous tree of degree 4k, the topological closure of the group generated by reflections has index 2 in the group of automorphisms of the tree.
متن کاملExceptional Lie groups
Now, in the present book, we describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups G2, F4, E6, E7, E8, in very elementary way. The contents are given as follows. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms σ of G, and determine the group structures of the fixed points subgroup G by σ. Note that they co...
متن کاملFixed points of automorphisms of real algebraic curves . ∗ Jean - Philippe Monnier
We bound the number of fixed points of an automorphism of a real curve in terms of the genus and the number of connected components of the real part of the curve. Using this bound, we derive some consequences concerning the maximum order of an automorphism and the maximum order of an abelian group of automorphisms of a real curve. We also bound the full group of automorphisms of a real hyperell...
