We continue our study of the orbits of a Borel subgroup $B_{n-1}$ of $G_{n-1}=GL(n-1)$ (resp. $SO(n-1)$) acting on the flag variety $\\mathcal{B}_{n}$ of $G=GL(n)$ (resp. $SO(n)$). We begin by using the results of the first paper to obtain a complete combinatorial model of the $B_{n-1}$-orbits on $\\mathcal{B}_{n}$ in terms of partitions into lists. The model allows us to obtain explicit formulas for the number of orbits as well as the exponential generating functions for the sequences $\\{|B_{n-1}\\backslash \\mathcal{B}_{n}|\\}_{n\\geq 1}$ . We then use the combinatorial description of the orbits to construct a canonical set of representatives of the orbits in terms of flags. These representatives allow us to understand an extended monoid action on $B_{n-1}\\backslash \\mathcal{B}_{n}$ using simple roots of both $\\mathfrak{g}_{n-1}$ and $\\mathfrak{g}$ and show that the closure ordering on $B_{n-1}\\backslash \\mathcal{B}_{n}$ is the standard ordering of Richardson and Springer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-22T17:17:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14M15", "14L30", "20G20", "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "flag variety", "complete combinatorial model", "extended monoid action", "representatives", "explicit formulas" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
