# Hecke Monoids¶

sage.monoids.hecke_monoid.HeckeMonoid(W)

Return the $$0$$-Hecke monoid of the Coxeter group $$W$$.

INPUT:

• $$W$$ – a finite Coxeter group

Let $$s_1,\ldots,s_n$$ be the simple reflections of $$W$$. The 0-Hecke monoid is the monoid generated by projections $$\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n$$ satisfying the same braid and commutation relations as the $$s_i$$. It is of same cardinality as $$W$$.

Note

This is currently a very basic implementation as the submonoid of sorting maps on $$W$$ generated by the simple projections of $$W$$. It’s only functional for $$W$$ finite.
