A flag variety is a homogenous variety $G/B$ where $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the complex numbers and $B$ is a Boel subgroup of $G$. A Schubert variety $X_w$ is a subvariety of $G/B$ indexed by an element $w$ in the Weyl group of…

We describe a natural basis of the Cartier class group of an arbitrary Schubert variety $X_{w,P}$ in a flag variety $G/P$ of general Lie type. We then characterise when the Schubert variety is factorial/Fano, along with an explicit formula…

We generalize the classification of isomorphism classes of Schubert varieties in complete flag varieties G/B to a class of partial flag varieties G/P. In particular, we classify all Schubert varieties in G/P where P is a minimal parabolic…

Let $L$ be a Levi subgroup of $GL_N$ which acts by left multiplication on a Schubert variety $X(w)$ in the Grassmannian $G_{d,N}$. We say that $X(w)$ is a spherical Schubert variety if $X(w)$ is a spherical variety for the action of $L$. In…

We consider tangent cones of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, and investigate the problem when the tangent cones of two different Schubert varieties coincide. We give a sufficient condition for such coincidence, and…

In this paper we determine which blow-ups $X$ of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at general points are log Fano, that is, when there exists an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $-(K_X+\Delta)$ is ample and the pair $(X,\Delta)$ is klt. For…

We determine explicitly the irreducible components of the singular locus of any Schubert variety for GL_n(K), K being an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We also describe the generic singularities along these…

Horospherical Schubert varieties are determined. It is shown that the stabilizer of an arbitrary point in a Schubert variety is a strongly solvable algebraic group. The connectedness of this stabilizer subgroup is discussed. Moreover, a new…

We calculate the tangent cones at unity of Schubert varieties for $A_n$, where $n$ is less or equal to four. We state several conjectures for an arbitrary $n$.

A partial flag variety is a smooth projective homogeneous variety admitting an action of a maximal torus $T$. Schubert varieties are $T$-invariant subvarieties of the partial flag varieties. We study toric Schubert varieties in Grassmannian…

For a variety $X$, a big $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $L$ and a closed connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{Aut}(X, L)$ we define a $G$-invariant version of the $\delta$-threshold. We prove that for a Fano variety $(X, -K_X)$ and a connected…

Let $X^v_w$ be a Richardson variety in the full flag variety $X$ associated to a symmetrizable Kac-Moody group $G$. Recall that $X^v_w$ is the intersection of the finite dimensional Schubert variety $X_w$ with the finite codimensional…

Let $X$ be a Fano type variety and $(X,\Delta)$ be a log Calabi-Yau pair with $\Delta$ a Weil divisor. If $(X,\Delta)$ admits a polarized endomorphism, then we show that $(X,\Delta)$ is a finite quotient of a toric pair. Along the way, we…

We prove that every globally $F$-regular variety is log Fano. In other words, if a prime characteristic variety $X$ is globally $F$-regular, then it admits an effective $\bQ$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $-K_X - \Delta$ is ample and $(X,…

We compute the $\delta$-invariant for pairs $(\mathbb{P}^2, \lambda C_d)$, where $C_d$ is a plane curve of degree $d \leq 4$. These computations provide new examples of $K$-stable and $K$-semistable log Fano pairs, and contribute to the…

We describe the generic singularity of a Schubert variety of type A on each irreducible component of its singular locus. This singularity is given either by a cone of rank one matrices, or a quadratic cone.

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.…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$, $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ containing $T$, $W$ be the Weyl group of $G$ with respect to $T$. To each element $w$ of $W$ one can associate the Schubert subvariety $X_w$…

Extending results of Wyser, we determine formulas for the equivariant cohomology classes of closed orbits of certain families of spherical subgroups of $GL_n$ on the flag variety $GL_n/B$. Putting this together with a slight extension of…

This paper focuses on the properties of Schubert cells as quasi-projective subvarieties of a generalized flag variety. More specifically, we investigate the problem of distinguishing between different Schubert cells using vanishing patterns…
