Geometric meaning of inducing a representation from a parabolic subgroup of a Weyl group
What is the geometric meaning of inducing a representation from a parabolic subgroup of a Weyl group? Could Springer theory of Weyl group representations be used to obtain such a geometric meaning?

Are there cases in which the Weyl group _does_ act on the flag variety/springer fiber?
In nearly every reference on the classical springer correspondence (for example Chriss/Ginzburg's book on Complex Geometry) it is stated that the action of the Weyl Group on the homology of the ...

$G$-orbits in Springer resolution (or, stabilizer actions on Springer fibers)
This may be an elementary question, but I'm having trouble coming up with an answer: Let $\tilde{N} = T^*(G/B)$ be the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. Does it have finitely many $G$-orbits?...

What's a good example/reference for cohomology classes on Springer fibers that aren't restricted from the flag variety
As usual, by Springer fiber, I mean the fixed points $X^u$ of a unipotent element $u$ of the group $G$ on the flag variety $X=G/B$. It's a lovely theorem that when $G=SL_n$, the induced map on ...
