Bruhat Interval Polytopes, 1-Skeleton Lattices, and Smooth Torus Orbit Closures

Abstract. 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.
