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 linear algebraic group, H a subgroup of G and X a G-variety. This paper explores the connection between G-orbits and H-orbits in X, concentrating in particular on the question of when we have the implications G.x closed in X…
