Abstract
We classify nonconstant morphisms for when (type~) for a minimal parabolic subgroup . Using the Borel presentation of cohomology and explicit Schubert intersection identities, we show that there is no nonconstant morphism ; for minimal parabolic subgroup , there are no nonconstant morphisms when , while such morphisms exist for ; and, after correcting an earlier error (pointed out by Yanjie Li), we give an elementary proof that there is no nonconstant morphism for any minimal parabolic subgroup. The proofs are elementary and cohomological.

In this version we add a corrected proof of the nonexistence of nonconstant morphism $\mathbb{P}^4 \to G/P_{\alpha_i}$ for any minimal parabolic subgroup
