A tightness property of relatively smooth permutations

Combinatorics 2019-04-17 v1

Abstract

It is well known that many geometric properties of Schubert varieties of type AA can be interpreted combinatorially. Given two permutations w,xSnw,x\in S_n we give a combinatorial consequence of the property that the smooth locus of the Schubert variety XwX_w contains the Schubert cell YxY_x. This is a necessary ingredient for the interpretation of recent representation-theoretic results of the author with M\'inguez in terms of identities of Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials.
