Springer fiber components in the two columns case for types A and D are normal

Algebraic Geometry 2013-01-18 v2

Abstract

We study the singularities of the irreducible components of the Springer fiber over a nilpotent element N with N^2=0 in a Lie algebra of type A or D (the so-called two columns case). We use Frobenius splitting techniques to prove that these irreducible components are normal, Cohen-Macaulay, and have rational singularities.
