We consider tangent cones of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, and investigate the problem when the tangent cones of two different Schubert varieties coincide. We give a sufficient condition for such coincidence, and formulate a conjecture that provides a necessary condition. In particular, we show that all Schubert varieties corresponding to the Coxeter elements of the Weyl group have the same tangent cone. Our main tool is the notion of pillar entries in the rank matrix…

Under appropriate conditions on the rank function r, which guarantee that, for generic h, f,(h) is irreducible, we prove a formula for the class [f,(h)] of this locus in the Chow or cohomology ring…

In this paper we study Schubert varieties in the flag manifold of Sl(n, C). Two main results are obtained: 1. A combinatorial method is derived whereby one can determine the singular locus of a…
Presenting the cohomology of a Schubert variety
We extend the short presentation due to [Borel '53] of the cohomology ring of a generalized flag manifold to a relatively short presentation of the cohomology of any of its Schubert varieties. Our…
Tangent cones of schubert varieties for An of lower rank
In the paper, the tangent cones of Schubert varieties for series An of rank less than or equal to four are calculated, and hypotheses on the structure of tangent cones in the general case are stated.…

In this note, we announce a criterion for smoothness of a Schubert variety in the ag variety G=B. Let G be a semi simple, simply connected algebraic group, which we assume for simplicity to be de ned…
