Nilpotent varieties in symmetric spaces and twisted affine Schubert varieties

Representation Theory 2022-07-01 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We relate the geometry of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannian and the nilpotent varieties in symmetric spaces. This extends some results of Achar-Henderson in the twisted setting. We also get some applications to the geometry of the order 2 nilpotent varieties in certain classical symmetric spaces.
