On toric degenerations of flag varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2016-09-06 v1 Combinatorics Representation Theory

Abstract

Following the historical track in pursuing TT-equivariant flat toric degenerations of flag varieties and spherical varieties, we explain how powerful tools in algebraic geometry and representation theory, such as canonical bases, Newton-Okounkov bodies, PBW-filtrations and cluster algebras come to push the subject forward.
