Abstract

For every finite Coxeter group $W$, we prove that the number of chains in the shard intersection lattice introduced by Reading and in the parabolic support poset introduced by Bergeron, Zabrocki and the third author, are the same. We also show that these two partial orders are related by an equality between generating series for their Möbius numbers, and provide a dimension-preserving bijection between the order complex on the parabolic support poset and the pulling triangulation of the permutahedron arising from the right weak order, analogous to the bijection defined by Reading between the order complex of the shard intersection order and the same triangulation of the permutahedron.
