Abstract

We characterize by pattern avoidance the Schubert varieties for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ which are local complete intersections (lci). For those Schubert varieties which are local complete intersections, we give an explicit minimal set of equations cutting out their neighbourhoods at the identity. Although the statement of our characterization only requires ordinary pattern avoidance, showing that the Schubert varieties not satisfying our conditions are not lci appears to require working with more general notions of pattern avoidance. The Schubert varieties defined by inclusions, originally introduced by Gasharov and Reiner, turn out to be an important subclass, and we further develop some of their combinatorics. One application is a new formula for certain specializations of Schubert polynomials. Nous caractérisons par l’évitement des motifs les variétés de Schubert qui sont localement des intersections complètes. Pour les variétés de Schubert qui sont localement des intersections complètes, nous donnons des ensembles explicites des polynômes qui définissent leurs voisinages à l’identité. Bien que notre caractérisation n'utilise que les motifs ordinaire, nous avons besoin des notions plus générales des motifs dans notre démonstration. Les variétés de Schubert définies par des inclusions, introduites par Gasharov et Reiner, sont une sous-classe importante, et nous développons davantage leurs combinatoire. Une application est une nouvelle formule pour une spécialisation des polynômes de Schubert.

Highlights

  • This is an shortened version with details omitted of the paper [UW11], which has been submitted for publication elsewhere

  • The main goal is to classify by pattern avoidance the permutations w for which the Schubert variety Xw is a local complete intersection

  • The Schubert variety Xw is the closure of the orbit BwB/B of the permutation matrix for w under the action of B

Summary

Introduction

This is an shortened version with details omitted of the paper [UW11], which has been submitted for publication elsewhere. Hultman, Linusson, Shareshian, and Sjostrand [HLSS09] showed that, given a permutation w, the number of chambers in the inversion arrangement for w is equal to the number of permutations less than or equal to w in Bruhat order if and only if w avoids the same patterns 4231, 35142, 42513, and 351624. The connection between this result and that of Gasharov and Reiner is at present a complete mystery. We hope our work may help in finding a connection
