Torus quotient of Richardson varieties in orthogonal and symplectic grassmannians

Abstract

For any simple, simply connected algebraic group [Formula: see text] of type [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and for any maximal parabolic subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], we provide a criterion for a Richardson variety in [Formula: see text] to admit semistable points for the action of a maximal torus [Formula: see text] with respect to an ample line bundle on [Formula: see text].
