Note on the Deodhar decomposition of a double Schubert cell

Algebraic Geometry 2008-07-15 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We show that for an algebraic reductive group GG, the partition of a double Schubert cell in the flag variety G/BG/B defined by Deodhar, and coming from a Bialynicki-Birula decomposition, is not a stratification in general. We give a counterexample for a group of type Bn_n, where the closure of some specific cell of dimension 2n2n has a non-trivial intersection with a cell of dimension 3n33n-3
