Structure algebras, Hopf algebroids and oriented cohomology of a group

Abstract: We prove that the structure algebra of a Bruhat moment graph of a finite real root system is a Hopf algebroid with respect to the Hecke and the Weyl actions. We introduce new techniques (reconstruction and push-forward formula of a product, twisted coproduct, double quotients of bimodules) and apply them together with our main result to linear algebraic groups, to generalized Schubert calculus, to combinatorics of Coxeter groups and finite real root systems. As for groups, it implies that the natural Hopf-algebra structure on the algebraic oriented cohomology $h(G)$ of Levine-Morel of a split semi-simple linear algebraic group $G$ can be lifted to a bi-Hopf' structure on the $T$-equivariant algebraic oriented cohomology of the complete flag variety. As for the Schubert calculus, we prove several new identities involving (double) generalized equivariant Schubert classes. As for finite real root systems, we compute the Hopf-algebra structure ofvirtual cohomology' of dihedral groups $I_2(p)$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
