Abstract

Let G=PSp(2n,C)(n3)G=PSp(2n, \mathbb C)(n\geq 3) and BB be a Borel subgroup of GG containing a maximal torus TT of GG. Let ww be an element of the Weyl group WW and X(w)X(w) be the Schubert variety in the flag variety G/BG/B corresponding to ww. Let Z(w,i)Z(w,\underline i) be the Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen variety (the desingularization of X(w)X(w)) corresponding to a reduced expression i\underline i of ww. In this article, we study the cohomology groups of the tangent bundle on Z(w0,i)Z(w_0, \underline i), where w0w_0 is the longest element of the Weyl group WW. We describe all the reduced expressions i\underline i of w0w_0 in terms of a Coxeter element such that all the higher cohomology groups of the tangent bundle on Z(w0,i)Z(w_0, \underline i) vanish.
