A Schubert variety in the complete flag manifold $GL_n/B$ is Levi-spherical if the action of a Borel subgroup in a Levi subgroup of a standard parabolic has a dense orbit. We give a combinatorial classification of these Schubert varieties.…

Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes generalize to singular and/or noncompact varieties the classical total homology Chern class of the tangent bundle of a smooth compact complex manifold. The theory of CSM classes has been extended to…

Consider a flag variety $Fl$ over an algebraically closed field, and a subvariety $V$ whose cycle class is a multiplicity-free sum of Schubert cycles. We show that $V$ is arithmetically normal and Cohen-Macaulay, in the projective embedding…

We give a detailed analysis of the orbit structure of the third power of the flag variety attached to SL(3,R). It turns out that 36 generalized Schubert cells split into 70 orbits plus one continuous family of orbits. On the latter, we…

In this paper we construct a family of complex structures on a complex flag manifold that converge to the real polarization coming from the Gelfand-Cetlin integrable system, in the sense that holomorphic sections of a prequantum line bundle…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group and H, the centralizer of a one-parameter subgroup in G. Combining the ideas of Bott-Samelson resulotions of Schubert varieties and the enumerative formula on a twisted products of 2-spheres obatained…

We explain that the Pl\"ucker relations provide the defining equations of the thick flag manifold associated to a Kac-Moody algebra. This naturally transplant the result of Kumar-Mathieu-Schwede about the Frobenius splitting of thin flag…

Schubert varieties have been exhaustively studied with a plethora of techniques: Coxeter groups, explicit desingularization, Frobenius splitting, etc. Many authors have applied these techniques to various other varieties, usually defined by…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with a maximal torus $T$. Combining Schubert calculus in the flag manifold $G/T$ with the Serre spectral sequence of the fibration $G\rightarrow G/T$, we construct the integral cohomology ring $H^{\ast}(G)$ uniformly…

Remarkable subalgebras of the Yangian for gl_n called the shifted Yangians were introduced in a recent work by Brundan and Kleshchev in relation to their study of finite W-algebras. In particular, in that work a classification of…

In this paper we study the T-equivariant generalized cohomology of flag varieties using two models, the Borel model and the moment graph model. We study the differences between the Schubert classes and the Bott-Samelson classes. After setup…

We revisit the study of the multiplets of the conformal algebra in any dimension. The theory of highest weight representations is reviewed in the context of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category of modules. The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials…

We derive explicit Pieri-type multiplication formulas in the Grothendieck ring of a flag variety. These expand the product of an arbitrary Schubert class and a special Schubert class in the basis of Schubert classes. These special Schubert…

We provide a proof that every Schubert variety of a semi-infinite flag variety is projectively normal. This gives us an interpretation of a Demazure module of a global Weyl module of a current Lie algebra as the (dual) space of the space of…

We derive cancellation-free Chevalley-type multiplication formulas in the T-equivariant quantum K-theory of Grassmannians of type A and C, and also those of two-step flag manifolds of type A. They are obtained based on the uniform Chevalley…

We examine the orbits of the (complex) symplectic group, $Sp_n$, on the flag manifold, $\mathscr{F}\ell(\mathbb{C}^{2n})$, in a very concrete way. We use two approaches: we Gr\"obner degenerate the orbits to unions of Schubert varieties…

Gelfand-Tsetlin polytopes are prominent objects in algebraic combinatorics. The number of integer points of the Gelfand-Tsetlin polytope $\mathrm{GT}(\lambda)$ is equal to the dimension of the corresponding irreducible representation of…

Let $G/P$ be a complex cominuscule flag manifold of type $E_6,E_7$. We prove that each characteristic cycle of the intersection homology (IH) complex of a Schubert variety in $G/P$ is irreducible. The proof utilizes an earlier algorithm by…

The paper extends existing Lie algebra representation theory related to Lie algebra gradings. The notion of a representation compatible with a given grading is defined and applied to finite-dimensional representations of $sl(n,\mathbb{C})$…
