On the smooth locus of affine Schubert varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2024-01-30 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We give a simple and uniform proof of a conjecture of Haines-Richarz characterizing the smooth locus of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannians. Our method is elementary and avoids any representation theoretic techniques, instead relying on a combinatorial analysis of tangent spaces of Schubert varieties.
