P ⊃T P • (σ ∩ ∆ P (T )) is a simplicial decomposition <strong>of</strong> Γ(G × T T σ , [e, e]) ⊂ X ∗ (G). We remark<br />

that this is a finite simplicial decomposition, for there are only finitely many parabolic subgroups<br />

<strong>of</strong> G containing T . (The Borel subgroups <strong>of</strong> G that contain T are all conjugate to a fixed one<br />

by elements <strong>of</strong> the Weyl group, W (T, G), which is finite, and the set <strong>of</strong> parabolic subgroups <strong>of</strong> G<br />

containing a given Borel subgroup B ⊃ T are indexed by subsets <strong>of</strong> the set <strong>of</strong> simple roots ∆(T, B)<br />

relative to B.)<br />

For instance, consider the GL 2 -embedding GL 2 × D 2<br />

A 2 . Here σ = {γ m,n (t) = ( t m 0<br />

0 t n )<br />

: m, n ∈<br />

N 0 } ⊂ X ∗ (D 2 ). There are only three parabolic subgroups <strong>of</strong> GL 2 containing D 2 , namely B + =<br />

{ ( )<br />

a b<br />

0 d }, B − = { ( )<br />

a 0<br />

c d } and GL2 itself. Then<br />

∆ B +(D 2 ) = {γ m,n ∈ X ∗ (D 2 ) : m ≥ n},<br />

∆ B −(D 2 ) = {γ m,n ∈ X ∗ (D 2 ) : m ≤ n},<br />

∆ GL2 (D 2 ) = {γ m,n ∈ X ∗ (D 2 ) : m = n},<br />

so σ ∩ ∆ B +(D 2 ) = {γ m,n : m ≥ n ≥ 0}, σ ∩ ∆ B −(D 2 ) = {γ m,n : n ≥ m ≥ 0} and σ ∩ ∆ GL2 (D 2 ) =<br />

{γ m,n : m = n ≥ 0}. Now<br />

B + • (σ ∩ ∆ B +(D 2 )) = {t ↦→<br />
