Bruhat Order on Partial Fixed Point Free Involutions
Abstract
The order complex of inclusion poset PFn of Borel orbit closures in skew-symmetric matrices is investigated. It is shown that PFn is an EL-shellable poset, and furthermore, its order complex triangulates a ball. The rank-generating function of PFn is computed and the resulting polynomial is contrasted with the Hasse-Weil zeta function of the variety of skew-symmetric matrices over finite fields.
