Classification of smooth horizontal Schubert varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2016-05-31 v1 Representation Theory

Abstract

We show that the smooth horizontal Schubert subvarieties of a rational homogeneous variety G/PG/P are homogeneously embedded cominuscule G/PG'/P', and are classified by subdiagrams of a Dynkin diagram. This generalizes the classification of smooth Schubert varieties in cominuscule G/PG/P.
