One-skeleton posets of Bruhat interval polytopes. (English) Zbl 1531.06001

Summary: Introduced by Kodama and Williams, Bruhat interval polytopes are generalized permutohedra closely connected to the study of torus orbit closures and total positivity in Schubert varieties. We show that the 1-skeleton posets of these polytopes are lattices and classify when the polytopes are simple, thereby resolving open problems and conjectures of Fraser, of Lee-Masuda, and of Lee-Masuda-Park. In particular, we classify when generic torus orbit closures in Schubert varieties are smooth.
