The Shapiro conjecture for the orthogonal Grassmannian
The Shapiro conjecture for the orthogonal Grassmannian
Let be the orthogonal Grassmannian, let be the isotropic flag osculating a specified rational normal curve, and let denote the Schubert variety indexed by a strict partition . A Schubert problem satisfies
The Shapiro conjecture for . If are distinct real numbers, then
is transverse and all its points are real. This is an orthogonal-Grassmannian analogue of the Grassmannian Shapiro conjecture; unlike the Grassmannian case, the source presents it as an open conjecture.
