Reduction theorems #
This file formalizes the main theorems from the introduction of
An extended Demazure product: Theorem B
(thm:starGreedy) characterizes α ⋆ β as a greedy maximum, and Theorem C
(thm:reduce) reduces inequalities α ⋆ β ≥ γ to equalities of reduced products.
It corresponds roughly to Section 6 of the paper.

The ordinary product of Bruhat-smaller factors lies below the Demazure
product of the original factors. This is the ASP form of the bound used in
the equation labeled eq:astarbBound in
An extended Demazure product.
Theorem B: greedy characterization of ⋆ #
Theorem B (thm:starGreedy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 1/3,
formula eq:starGreedyAlpha.
α ⋆ β is the Bruhat-maximum of the set
$\{ \alpha_1 \beta : \alpha_1 \leq_\chi \alpha\}$.
Theorem B (thm:starGreedy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 2/3,
formula eq:starGreedyBeta.
α ⋆ β is the Bruhat-maximum of the set
$\{ \alpha \beta_1 : \beta_1 \leq_\chi \beta\}$.
Theorem B (thm:starGreedy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 3/3,
formula eq:starGreedy.
α ⋆ β is the Bruhat-maximum of the set
$\{ \alpha_1 \beta_1 : \alpha_1 \leq \alpha, \beta_1 \leq \beta\}$.
Theorem C (thm:reduce) of
An extended Demazure product, second paragraph,
Bruhat component, part 1/3.
If α ⋆ β ≥ γ, then α₁ = γ ◃ β⁻¹ and β₁ = α₁⁻¹ ▹ γ satisfy
α₁ ⋆ β₁ = α₁ * β₁ = γ and α₁ ≤ α, β₁ ≤ β.
Theorem C (thm:reduce) of
An extended Demazure product, second paragraph, including the
shift identities, part 2/3. Under the additional hypothesis $\chi_\alpha + \chi_\beta = \chi_\gamma$ (which makes both shift equalities meaningful), we further have
$\alpha_1 \leq_\chi \alpha$ and $\beta_1 \leq_\chi \beta$.
Theorem C (thm:reduce) of
An extended Demazure product, first paragraph,
ASP form, part 3/3.
For all α, β, γ ∈ ASP with α.χ + β.χ = γ.χ, the inequality α ⋆ β ≥ γ
is equivalent to the existence of α₁, β₁ with α₁ ≤χ α, β₁ ≤χ β, and
α₁ ⋆ β₁ = α₁ * β₁ = γ.
Theorem 6.1 (resLStingy): stingy characterization of ◃ #
The dual story for ◃, mirroring Theorem B. This is the formula labeled
eq:resLGreedyAlpha in
An extended Demazure product.
Theorem 6.1 (thm:resLStingy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 1/3,
formula eq:resLGreedyAlpha.
α ◃ β⁻¹ is the Bruhat-minimum of the set
$\{\alpha_1 \beta^{-1}: \alpha_1 \geq_\chi \alpha\}$.
Theorem 6.1 (thm:resLStingy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 2/3,
formula eq:resLGreedyBeta.
α ◃ β⁻¹ is the Bruhat-minimum of the set
$\{\alpha \beta_1^{-1}: \beta_1 \leq_\chi \beta\}$.
Theorem 6.1 (thm:resLStingy) of
An extended Demazure product, part 3/3,
formula eq:resLGreedy.
α ◃ β⁻¹ is the Bruhat-minimum of the set
$\{\alpha_1 \beta_1^{-1}: \alpha_1 \geq \alpha,\, \beta_1 \leq \beta\}$.
Theorem 6.5 (reduceSeveral): three- and many-fold reduction #
The reduction theorem for products of three or more permutations follows
from reduce by induction. The list form below packages that induction.
Theorem 6.5 (thm:reduceSeveral) of
An extended Demazure product, ASP-level (list version).
For any list of permutations αs and a target γ ∈ ASP with matching total
shift, if the Demazure product over αs is Bruhat-≥ γ, then there exists a
list of "reduced witnesses" βs of the same length, with βᵢ ≤χ αᵢ
pointwise, whose Demazure product and ordinary product both equal γ.
