Extended symmetric spaces and \(\theta\)-twisted involution graphs. (English) Zbl 1441.05242

Summary: For a Weyl group \(G\) and an automorphism \(\theta\) of order 2, the set of involutions and \(\theta\)-twisted involutions can be generated by considering actions by basis elements, creating a poset structure on the elements. Haas and Helminck showed that there is a relationship between these sets and their Bruhat posets. We extend that result by considering other bases and automorphisms. We show for \(G=S_n,\theta\) an involution, and any basis consisting of transpositions, the extended symmetric space is generated by a similar algorithm. Moreover, there is an isomorphism of the poset graphs for certain bases and \(\theta\).
