Shadows in Coxeter groups

For a given $w$ in a Coxeter group $W$ the elements $u$ smaller than $w$ in Bruhat order can be seen as the end-alcoves of stammering galleries of type $w$ in the Coxeter complex $Σ$. We generalize this notion and consider sets of end-alcoves of galleries that are positively folded with respect to certain orientation $ϕ$ of $Σ$. We call these sets shadows. Positively folded galleries are closely related to the geometric study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, MV polytopes, Hall-Littlewood polynomials and many more agebraic structures. In this paper we will introduce various notions of orientations and hence shadows and study some of their algorithmic properties.
