Every Hecke parameter of a BN-pair divides and, because is a -group, is a power of . If , then in the field of characteristic . The specialized quadratic relation becomes
while the braid relations are unchanged. These are the defining relations of the Coxeter group , so induces a surjective homomorphism
Both algebras have bases indexed by , hence the homomorphism is an isomorphism of group algebras.
