The Davis complex is the geometric realization of the poset of cosets wWT​ for spherical subsets T⊆S. Equivalently, it is the basic construction of a Coxeter group obtained by gluing copies of the Davis chamber along mirrors. It is a contractible proper W-CW complex.

Davis complex
For a mirrored chamber K, the basic construction is
U(W,K)=(W×K)/∼,
(1)
where (w,x)∼(w′,x) when w−1w′ belongs to the subgroup generated by the mirrors containing x.
