Abstract

Let GG be a complex reductive group, TT be a maximal torus of GG, BB be a Borel subgroup of GG containing TT, WW be the Weyl group of GG with respect to TT. To each element ww of WW one can associate the Schubert subvariety XwX_w of the flag variety G/BG/B, the tangent cone to XwX_w at the identity point pp considered as a subcheme of the tangent space Tp(G/B)T_p(G/B), and the reduced tangent cone to XwX_w at pp considered as a subvariety of Tp(G/B)T_p(G/B). Let w1w_1, w2w_2 be distinct involutions in WW. We prove that if GG is of type BnB_n or CnC_n, then the tangent cones corresponding to w1w_1 and w2w_2 are distinct. We also prove that if GG is of type AnA_n or CnC_n, then the reduced tangent cones corresponding to w1w_1 and w2w_2 are distinct.
