Coxeter fan
From HandWiki
Let be a finite Coxeter system acting by reflections on an -Euclidean space. Let be a point in the complement of the hyperplanes corresponding to the reflections in . The convex hull of the -orbit of is a simple convex polytope: the well-known permutahedron . The normal fan of is the Coxeter fan .[1]
More generally, given a Weyl group , the Coxeter arrangement for is the collection of all reflecting hyperplanes for . 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 .
