Abstract

Let GG be a simple simply-laced algebraic group of adjoint type over the field C\mathbb{C} of complex numbers, BB be a Borel subgroup of GG containing a maximal torus TT of G.G. In this article, we show that ωα\omega_\alpha is a minuscule fundamental weight if and only if for any parabolic subgroup QQ containing BB properly, there is no Schubert variety XQ(w)X_{Q}(w) in G/QG/Q such that the minimal parabolic subgroup PαP_{\alpha} of GG is the connected component, containing the identity automorphism of the group of all algebraic automorphisms of XQ(w).X_{Q}(w).
