Which Schubert Varieties are Hessenberg Varieties?

Algebraic Geometry 2021-07-19 v1 Combinatorics Representation Theory

Abstract

After proving that every Schubert variety in the full flag variety of a complex reductive group GG is a general Hessenberg variety, we show that not all such Schubert varieties are adjoint Hessenberg varieties. In fact, in types A and C, we provide pattern avoidance criteria implying that the proportion of Schubert varieties that are adjoint Hessenberg varieties approaches zero as the rank of GG increases. We show also that in type A, some Schubert varieties are not isomorphic to any adjoint Hessenberg variety.
