A Deodhar type stratification on the double flag variety

Abstract

We describe a stratification on the double flag variety G/B+×G/BG/B^+\times G/B^- of a complex semisimple algebraic group GG analogous to the Deodhar stratification on the flag variety G/B+G/B^+, which is a refinement of the stratification into orbits both for B+×BB^+\times B^- and for the diagonal action of GG, just as Deodhar's stratification refines the orbits of B+B^+ and BB^-. We give a coordinate system on each stratum, and show that all strata are coisotropic subvarieties. Also, we discuss possible connections to the positive and cluster geometry of G/B+×G/BG/B^+\times G/B^-, which would generalize results of Fomin and Zelevinsky on double Bruhat cells and Marsh and Rietsch on double Schubert cells.
