Half circles on flag manifolds over a semifield

Abstract

A flag manifold over a semifield K can be partitioned into "half i-circles" which are orbits of a K-action on that flag manifold. Here i is fixed and it corresponds to a simple reflection in the Weyl group. We prove (for certain K) a connectedness property of the flag manifold: any two points of it can be joined by a finite sequence of half i-circles for various i.
