Embedding flag manifolds of real semisimple lie group
I want to know given a connected (maybe we can assume it to be simply connected or linear) real semisimple lie group $G$ and one of its maximal parabolic group $P$, how can we embed the flag variety $...

Description of the generalized grassmannians and flag varieties (parabolic quotients) associated to the exceptional groups
If $G$ is a classical semisimple algebraic/Lie group over an algebraically closed field (maybe just say $\mathbb{C}$), viꝫ. $\mathit{SL}_n$, $\mathit{SO}_n$, $\mathit{Sp}_n$ (isogenies irrelevant here)...

Counting fixed points on flag variety and Deligne-Lusztig functors
Let $G=GL_n(q)$ be the general linear group over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $T$ be the torus of diagonal matrices. We also pick a Levi subgroup of the form $L=GL_{n_1}(q)\times GL_{n_2}(q) \times \cdots \...

Irreducibility of Gelfand-Serganova strata
To keep the notations simple I'll restrict my attention to the complete flag variety although the question should be equally valid for partial flag varieties. Consider $G=SL_n(\mathbb C)$ with Borel $...

Closures of torus orbits in flag varieties
Consider the Lie group $G=SL_n(\mathbb C)$ with Borel subgroup $B$ and maximal torus $T\subset B$. I'm interested in the (Zariski) closures of $T$-orbits in the flag variety $F=G/B$.
Now, as far as I ...

Intersections of the B-orbits and the orbits of some other Borel subgroups in the flag variety G/B
This is a follow-up of this previous question below:
Intersections of $B$ and $B^-$ orbits in the flag variety $G/B$
Let $G = SL_n(\mathbb{C})$, $B$ be the standard Borel subgroup, and consider some ...

How to characterize the class of $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-modules with a fixed lowest K-type in the framework of D-modules?
Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group, $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup. Let $\mathfrak{g}_0$ and $\mathfrak{k}_0$ be their real Lie algebras respectively. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{k}$ be ...

Intersections of $B$ and $B^-$ orbits in the flag variety $G/B$
Let $G = SL_n(\mathbb{C})$, $B$ be a Borel subgroup, and $B^-$ be the opposite Borel.
Both the $B$ and $B^-$ orbits on the flag variety $G/B$ are indexed by the Weyl group $W$. Let $S_{w_1}$ and $S^-...

Cohomology ring of a flag variety and representation theory
I'm interested in the cohomology ring $H^*(G/B)$ of a flag variety $G/B$, where $G$ is a complex semi-simple Lie group and $B$ the Borel subgroup. Borel (1953) showed that this ring is isomorphic to ...

Equivariant $K$-theory, singular vectors, and flag manifolds
For a homogeneous space $M = G/B$, with $G$ a (complex) semi-simple Lie group, it is very well-known that equivariant vector bundles $E$ over $M$ correspond to representations $(V_{\lambda},\lambda)$ ...

Rep Theory Consequences of Bott--Weil--Borel
I've been getting interested in the (Bott--)Borel--Weil theorem lately. As a (mainly) geometer it is very interesting to see representation appearing (from nowhere as far as I can see) in the theory ...

Group Representations and Holomorphic Vectors Bundles over Homogeneous Spaces (extending Borel--Weil)
For a flag manifold $F$ of a group $G$, the Borel--Weil theorem deals with representations of $G$ on the holomorphic sections of the line bundles over $F$.
Let us consider a general framework than ...

The real group orbits on the flag variety always contains the holomorphic directions?
Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ be its complexified Lie algebra. We have the flag variety $\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathfrak{g}$ which is the set of all Borel subalgebras of $\...
