Conjecture on osculating Schubert families for classical flag manifolds
Conjecture on osculating Schubert families for classical flag manifolds
Let be a vector space with a bilinear form, and let be respectively a general linear, orthogonal, or symplectic group according as the form is identically zero, nondegenerate symmetric, or nondegenerate alternating. Let be a real rational normal curve in whose osculating flags are isotropic in the orthogonal and symplectic cases. Let be a parabolic subgroup of , let be the Weyl group, and let be the associated parabolic subgroup. For , let be the family of Schubert varieties in . Osculating Schubert-family conjecture. For any , the family respects the Bruhat decomposition of given by the flag , and any collection of these families is in general position. The conjecture would extend the corresponding Grassmannian result of Eisenbud and Harris to flag varieties of the classical groups; the source notes that the relevant structure constants have few known formulas and that finding a combinatorial formula for them is open.
