Coxeter fan

From HandWiki

Let (W,S) be a finite Coxeter system acting by reflections on an -Euclidean space. Let a be a point in the complement of the hyperplanes corresponding to the reflections in W. The convex hull of the W-orbit of a is a simple convex polytope: the well-known permutahedron Permaa(W). The normal fan of Perm(W) is the Coxeter fan .[1]

More generally, given a Weyl group W, the Coxeter arrangement 𝒜 for W is the collection of all reflecting hyperplanes for W. The complement of the arrangement consists of open cones, whose closures are called chambers. The collection of chambers and all of their faces define the Coxeter fan associated to 𝒜.
