A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…

Let G denote a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k and let X denote a projective G x G-equivariant embedding of G. The large Schubert varieties in X are the closures of the double cosets BgB, where B…

A smooth projective variety with an action of a torus admits a cell decomposition, called the Bialynicki-Birula decomposition. Singularities of the closures of these cells are not well-known. One of the examples of such closures is a…

In this note we study two features of submanifolds (subvarieties) with ample normal bundles in a compact K\"ahler manifold X. First, we study how algebraic X can be, i.e. we investigate the algebraic dimension. Second, we study curves with…

We show that all reduced closed subschemes of projective space that have a Cohen-Macaulay graded coordinate ring are of wild Cohen-Macaulay type, except for a few cases which we completely classify.

We study when a smooth variety $X$, embedded diagonally in its Cartesian square, is the zero scheme of a section of a vector bundle of rank $\dim(X)$ on $X\times X$. We call this the diagonal property (D). It was known that it holds for all…

Schubert varieties are irreducible subvarieties of homogeneous manifold, which are important to understand the geometry of homogeneous manifold G/P and the action of the semisimple Lie group G. Consider the space of effective cycles in G/P…

A Pfaff field on a projective space is a map from the sheaf of differential s-forms, for a certain s, to an invertible sheaf. The interesting ones are those arising from a Pfaff system, as they give rise to a distribution away from their…

In this paper, a description of the set-theoretical defining equations of symplectic (type C) Grassmannian/flag/Schubert varieties in corresponding (type A) algebraic varieties is given as linear polynomials in Pl$\ddot{u}$cker coordinates,…

We study a category of semiinfinite sheaves on the affine flag variety of a connected reductive algebraic group, with coefficients in a field of arbitrary characteristic, generalizing some results of Gaitsgory and showing that this category…

It is known that the closure of an arbitrary K_c-orbit on a flag manifold is expressed as a product of a closed K_c-orbit and a Schubert cell ([M2], [Sp]). We already applied this fact to the duality of orbits on flag manifolds ([GM]). We…

It is shown that the cycle space of an arbitrary orbit of a non-Hermitian real form G in a flag manifold $Z=G^\mathbb C/Q$ of its complexification is naturally equivalent to a certain universal domain which depends only on G. This makes use…

We show that if $\mathcal{F}$ is an algebraically integrable foliation on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal projective variety $X$, $ A, B \geq 0$ are $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on $X$ with $A$ ample such that $(\mathcal{F}, B)$ is foliated dlt…

Let G be a semisimple affine algebraic group and P a parabolic subgroup of G. We classify all flag varieties G/P which admit an action of the commutative unipotent group G_a^n with an open orbit.

Let $Y$ be a normal and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $V$ a vector bundle over $Y$. We prove that if there exist a $k$-scheme $X$ and a finite surjective morphism $g:X\to Y$ that trivializes $V$ then $V$ is…

We study finite dimensional approximations to degenerate versions of affine flag varieties using quiver Grassmannians for cyclic quivers. We prove that they admit cellular decompositions parametrized by affine Dellac configurations, and…

We show that the fundamental class in K-homology of a Frobenius split scheme can be computed as a certain alternating sum over irreducible varieties, with the coefficients computed using M\"obius inversion on a certain poset. If G/P is a…

We study twisted forms of Schubert cells in generalized Severi-Brauer varieties, and show that the codimension $2$ Chow groups of these varieties are torsion free in certain cases, using the topological filtration on their K-theory

We study the index of symmetry of a compact generalized flag manifold M=G/H endowed with an invariant Kaehler structure. When the group G is simple we show that the leaves of symmetry are irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces and we…

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…
