Strict Bott-Samelson desingularization conjecture for Schubert varieties
Let be the Schubert variety indexed by , where , and let be the recursively defined set of permutations to avoid, with and
where consists of the translations of permutations in and .
Strict Bott-Samelson desingularization conjecture. If for every , then can be desingularized using a sequence of strict Bott-Samelson resolutions.
This conjecture proposes that the recursively defined forbidden permutations exactly capture the obstructions to desingularizing singular Schubert varieties by successive strict Bott-Samelson resolutions. The paper gives examples and motivating patterns in low rank, but the general assertion remains open.
