Аннотация:In this short note we show that the Bruhat cells in real normal forms of semisimple Lie algebras enjoy the same property as their complex analogs: for any two elements w, w′ in the Weyl group W(g), the corresponding real Bruhat cell Xw intersects with the dual Bruhat cell Yw′ iff w≺w′ in the Bruhat order on W(g). Here g is a normal real form of a semisimple complex Lie algebra gC. Our reasoning is based on the properties of the Toda flows rather than on the analysis of the Weyl group action and geometric considerations.
