For a type S of generators and a Coxeter matrix M on S, alternating(s,t,n) is the word in the free group on S of length n that alternates s,t,s,... starting with s. The braid relators are the elements alternating(s,t,m) times the inverse of alternating(t,s,m), where m = M(s,t), over all pairs (s,t). Artin(M) is the group presented by the free group on S modulo these relators, the Artin group of M, with generator(s) the image of s. For a subset T of S, coxeterParabolic(M,T) is the subgroup of the Coxeter group generated by the simple reflections indexed by T, and T is spherical when this parabolic subgroup is finite. SphericalType(M) is the type of spherical subsets, and a lifted cell is a pair consisting of an Artin group element and a spherical subset. For a list w of generators, wordArtin and wordCoxeter give its product in the Artin group and in the Coxeter group. LiftedFace(a,b) holds when the spherical set of a is contained in that of b and there is a word w using only generators from b's set, reduced in the Coxeter system (its length equals the length of w), of minimal length in its coset with respect to right multiplication by the parabolic subgroup of a's set, such that the Artin element of a equals that of b times wordArtin(w). LiftedCell is made a preorder by taking the reflexive-transitive closure of LiftedFace. SalvettiCover(M) is the topological space obtained as the geometric realization of the nerve of this preorder, viewed as a category.
