We use two approaches: we Gr\\\"obner degenerate the orbits to unions of Schubert varieties (for a equations of a particular union of Schubert varieties see \\cite{NWunions}) and we find a subset $\\mathcal{A}$ of the orbit closures containing the basic elements of the poset of orbit closures under containment, which represent the geometric and combinatorial building blocks for the orbit closures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-10T00:09:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06A11", "05E40", "14Q99" ], "keywords": [ "flag manifold", "symplectic group", "schubert varieties", "combinatorial building blocks", "basic elements" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.2302B" } } }
