We use incidence relations running in two directions in order to construct a Kempf-Laksov type resolution for any Schubert variety of the complete flag manifold but also an embedded resolution for any Schubert variety in the Grassmannian.…

We review the relations between compact complex manifolds carrying various types of Hermitian metrics (K\"ahler, balanced or {\it strongly Gauduchon}) and those satisfying the $\partial\bar\partial$-lemma or the degeneration at $E_1$ of the…

We introduce the notion of a cominuscule point in a Schubert variety in a generalized flag variety for a semisimple group. We derive formulas expressing the Hilbert series and multiplicity of a Schubert variety at a cominuscule point in…

Riemannian geodesic orbit spaces (G/H,g) are natural generalizations of symmetric spaces, defined by the property that their geodesics are orbits of one-parameter subgroups of G. We study the geodesic orbit spaces of the form (G/S,g), where…

We prove that the Schubert structure constants of the quantum $K$-theory ring of any minuscule flag variety or quadric hypersurface have signs that alternate with codimension. We also prove that the powers of the deformation parameter $q$…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over the complex number filed, and K = G^{\theta} be the fixed points of an involutive automorphism \theta of G so that (G, K) is a symmetric pair. We take parabolic subgroups P and Q of G and K…

In the first half of this article, we review the Steinberg theory for double flag varieties for symmetric pairs. For a special case of the symmetric space of type AIII, we will consider $ X = GL_{2n}/P_{(n,n)} \times GL_n / B_n^+ \times…

We classify the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). Moreover we prove a criterion for the smoothness of the simple (normal) symmetric varieties whose closed orbit is complete. In particular we…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0. Let $Y=G/H$ be a spherical homogeneous space of $G$, and let $Y'$ be a spherical embedding of $Y$. Let $k_0$ be a subfield of $k$. Let $G_0$…

The regular \Z^r-covers of a finite cell complex X are parameterized by the Grassmannian of r-planes in H^1(X,\Q). Moving about this variety, and recording when the Betti numbers b_1,..., b_i of the corresponding covers are finite carves…

In the paper we continue to study Special Bohr-Sommerfeld geometry of compact symplectic manifolds. Using natural deformation parameters we avoid the difficulties appeared in the definition of the moduli space of Special Bohr-Sommerfeld…

We give a complete list of smooth and rationally smooth normalized Schubert varieties in the twisted affine Grassmannian associated with a tamely ramified group and a special vertex of its Bruhat-Tits building. The particular case of the…

In this paper we describe the relationship between the finite free resolutions of perfect ideals in split format (for Dynkin formats) and certain intersections of opposite Schubert varieties with the big cell for homogeneous spaces $G/P$…

A regular nilpotent Hessenberg Schubert cell is the intersection of a regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety with a Schubert cell. In this paper, we describe a set of minimal generators of the defining ideal of a regular nilpotent Hessenberg…

The orbital varieties are the irreducible components of the intersection between a nilpotent orbit and a Borel subalgebra of the Lie algebra of a reductive group. There is a geometric correspondence between orbital varieties and irreducible…

We apply the previous calculations of Chow-Witt rings of Grassmannians to develop an oriented analogue of the classical Schubert calculus. As a result, we get complete diagrammatic descriptions of the ring structure in Chow-Witt rings and…

A previous result of the authors with Chaput and Perrin states that the union of all rational curves of fixed degree passing through a Schubert variety in a homogeneous space G/P is again a Schubert variety. In this paper we identify this…

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…

In the framework of the problem of characterizing complete flag manifolds by their contractions, the complete flags of type $F_4$ and $G_2$ satisfy the property that any possible tower of Bott-Samelson varieties dominating them birationally…

We describe the effect of Feigin's flat degeneration of the type $\textrm{A}$ flag variety on its Schubert varieties. In particular, we study when they stay irreducible and in several cases we are able to encode reducibility of the…
