For a finite Coxeter system and a subset of its diagram nodes, we define spherical elements (a generalization of Coxeter elements). Conjecturally, for Weyl groups, spherical elements index Schubert varieties in a flag manifold G/B that are spherical for the action of a Levi subgroup. We evidence the conjecture, employing the combinatorics of Demazure modules, and work of R. Avdeev-A. Petukhov, M. Can-R. Hodges, R. Hodges-V. Lakshmibai, P. Karuppuchamy, P. Magyar-J. Weyman-A. Zelevinsky, N… Expand

Classification of Levi-spherical Schubert varieties
• Mathematics
• 2021
A Schubert variety in the complete flag manifold GLn/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 combinatorialExpand
Spherical Schubert varieties and pattern avoidance
A normal variety X is called H-spherical for the action of the complex reductive group H if it contains a dense orbit of some Borel subgroup of H . We resolve a conjecture of Hodges–Yong by showingExpand

Schubert polynomials are refined by the key polynomials of Lascoux-Schutzenberger, which in turn are refined by the fundamental slide polynomials of Assaf-Searles. In this paper we determine whichExpand
Proper permutations, Schubert geometry, and randomness
• Mathematics
• 2020
We define and study proper permutations. Properness is a geometrically natural necessary criterion for a Schubert variety to be Levi-spherical. We prove the probability that a random permutation isExpand
