Parabolic subgroups of reductive group as stabilizers of flags

$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}$Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group (probably reductive will be needed). Consider a faithful representation $G \to \GL(V)$. Given a parabolic subgroup $P < G$, we can ...

References for $K$-orbits in $G/B$

Let $G$ be a reductive group, $K$ a symmetric subgroup of $G$ (e.g., fixed point of an involution), and $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$. Then it is well known that $G/B$ has finitely many $K$-orbits. ...

Relative position of Borel subgroups for the symplectic group

Background Let $n$ be a positive integer, let $W$ be the Weyl group of $\text{GL}_n$. Its set of Borel subgroups is isomorphic to the full flag variety $\mathcal{F}_n$. In this question, I studied ...

Restriction of a line bundle on $G/B$ to a fibre which is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1$

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ of characteristic zero with maximal split torus $T$, Borel $B \supset T$ and Weyl group $W$. Set $X:=G/B$ and $C_w:=BwB/B \subset X$ for $w \in W$ the ...

Character which defines canonical bundle on flag variety

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ of characteristic zero with maximal split torus $T$ and Borel $B \supset T$ defining a set of simple roots $\Delta$. Additionally let $\rho$ be the half ...

Schubert cells in G/P for reductive G

All literature on the Schubert cells of the generalized flag varieties $G/P$ ("generalized" here means that $P$ is an arbitrary parabolic) assumes that $G$ is a semisimple complex group. I ...

Union of Schubert cells being affine

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, $G$ be a reductive group with a Borel $B$ and $\mathcal{F}:=G/B$ the associated flag variety. Let $W$ be the Weyl-group of G. Then let $S \subset W$ and $Z=\...

moduli problem for flag varieties?

Hi, Suppose $G$ is a reductive group over an algebraiclly closed field $k$ (suppose $k$ of char zero if you want at first). Let $X$ be its flag variety. Question: What is the moduli problem that $X$ ...
