The full symmetric Toda flow and intersections of Bruhat cells. (English) Zbl 1471.17022

Summary: In this short note we show that the Bruhat cells in real normal forms of semisimple Lie algebras enjoy the same property as their complex analogs: for any two elements \(w, w'\) in the Weyl group \(W(\mathfrak g)\), the corresponding real Bruhat cell \(X_w\) intersects with the dual Bruhat cell \(Y_{w'}\) iff \(w \prec w'\) in the Bruhat order on \(W(\mathfrak g)\). Here \(\mathfrak g\) is a normal real form of a semisimple complex Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g_\mathbb C\). Our reasoning is based on the properties of the Toda flows rather than on the analysis of the Weyl group action and geometric considerations.
