Seeking a generalization of group embedding of symmetric varieties

I am looking for generalizations of the following construction. Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group and let $\theta : G \rightarrow G$ be an involution. Let $H = G^{\theta}$ be the subgroup of $ …

Chains in $K\backslash G/B$ lying over a closed $K$-orbit

Malheureusement, this is not true, not even for the weak order. This can be seen for example when $G = GL(4)$ and $K = GL(2) \times GL(2)$. Then $K \backslash G / B$ is parameterized by involutions …

Covering relations in $K\backslash G/B$

While the paper of Richardson-Springer does study the weak order, it also has useful results on the usual (strong) Bruhat order. In particular, Theorem 7.11 says that Bruhat order is characterized as …
