Let $k_0$ be a field of characteristic $0$ with algebraic closure $k$. Let $G$ be a connected reductive $k$-group, and let $Y$ be a spherical variety over $k$ (a spherical homogeneous space or a spherical embedding). Let $G_0$ be a…

We study families of submanifolds in symmetric spaces of compact type arising as exponential images of s-orbits of variable radii. Special attention is given to the cases where the s-orbits are symmetric.

Real flag manifolds are the isotropy orbits of noncompact symmetric spaces $G/K$. Any such manifold $M$ enjoys two very peculiar geometric properties: It carries a transitive action of the (noncompact) Lie group $G$, and it is embedded in…

For a complex semi-simple group G and its real form G0 we define a Poisson structure on the flag variety of G such that all the Bruhat cells (for a suitable choice of a Borel subgroup of G) as well as all the G0-orbits are Poisson…

We define linear degenerations of Schubert varieties via a special class of quiver Grassmannians. To do so, we restrict our study to an appropriate subvariety in the variety of representations of the considered quiver and describe a base…

We describe an algorithm which pattern embeds, in the sense of Woo-Yong, any Bruhat interval of a symmetric group into an interval whose extremes lie in the same right Kazhdan-Lusztig cell. This apparently harmless fact has applications in…

Smooth Schubert varieties in rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number 1 are horospherical varieties. We characterize standard embeddings of smooth Schubert varieties in rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number 1 by means of…

Let G be a complex connected semisimple group, whose simple components have type A or D. We prove that wonderful G-varieties are classified by means of combinatorial objects called spherical systems. This is a generalization of a known…

A real form $G$ of a complex semisimple Lie group $G^C$ has only finitely many orbits in any given $G^C$-flag manifold $Z=G^C/Q$. The complex geometry of these orbits is of interest, e.g., for the associated representation theory. The open…

A flag domain $D$ is an open orbit of a real form $G_0$ in a flag manifold $Z=G/P$ of its complexification. If $D$ is holomorphically convex, then, since it is a product of a Hermitian symmetric space of bounded type and a compact flag…

Consider a finite-dimensional real vector space equipped with a finite group acting unitarily on it. We address the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our approach is based on…

Let $G_\mathbb{R}$ be a Lie group and $G$ its complexification. An open $G_\mathbb{R}$-orbit in a $G$-flag manifold is measurable whenever it carries a $G_\mathbb{R}$-invariant volume element. In this paper the notion of measurability is…

Geodesic orbit spaces (or g.o. spaces) are defined as those homogeneous Riemannian spaces $(M=G/H,g)$ whose geodesics are orbits of one-parameter subgroups of $G$. The corresponding metric $g$ is called a geodesic orbit metric. We study the…

Let $G$ be a classical complex Lie group, $P$ any parabolic subgroup of $G$, and $G/P$ the corresponding partial flag variety. We prove an explicit combinatorial Giambelli formula which expresses an arbitrary Schubert class in the…

We show that various genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants for flag varieties representing different homology classes are indeed the same. In particular, many of them are classical intersection numbers of Schubert cycles.

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In this note, we show that an irreducible closed subvariety of the flag variety of G is compatibly split by the unique canonical Frobenius…

Let $ G $ be a connected, simply connected semisimple algebraic group over the complex number field, and let $ K $ be the fixed point subgroup of an involutive automorphism of $ G $ so that $ (G, K) $ is a symmetric pair. We take parabolic…

We study Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity for points of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, by Groebner degenerations of the Kazhdan-Lusztig ideal. In the covexillary case, we give a positive combinatorial rule for multiplicity by…

For several instances of metric largeness like enlargeability or having hyperspherical universal covers, we construct non-large vector subspaces in the rational homology of finitely generated groups. The functorial properties of this…

We study subvarieties of the flag variety called Hessenberg varieties, defined by certain linear conditions. These subvarieties arise naturally in applications including geometric representation theory, number theory, and numerical…
