On some smooth projective two-orbit varieties with Picard number 1

B Pasquier - Mathematische Annalen, 2009 - Springer
We classify all smooth projective horospherical varieties with Picard number 1. We prove
that the automorphism group of any such variety X acts with at most two orbits and that this …

Geometry of horospherical varieties of Picard rank one

R Gonzales, C Pech, N Perrin… - International …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We study the geometry of smooth non-homogeneous horospherical varieties of Picard rank
one. These have been classified by Pasquier and include the well-known odd symplectic …

Billey–Postnikov decompositions and the fibre bundle structure of Schubert varieties

E Richmond, W Slofstra - Mathematische Annalen, 2016 - Springer
A theorem of Ryan and Wolper states that a type A Schubert variety is smooth if and only if it
is an iterated fibre bundle of Grassmannians. We extend this theorem to arbitrary finite type …

Real structures on horospherical varieties

L Moser-Jauslin, R Terpereau - Michigan Mathematical Journal, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We study the equivariant real structures on complex horospherical varieties, generalizing
classical results known for toric varieties and flag varieties. We obtain a necessary and …

Local rigidity of quasi-regular varieties

B Pasquier, N Perrin - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2010 - Springer
For a G-variety X with an open orbit, we define its boundary∂ X as the complement of the
open orbit. The action sheaf SX is the subsheaf of the tangent sheaf made of vector fields …

Quantum cohomology of the odd symplectic Grassmannian of lines

C Pech - Journal of Algebra, 2013 - Elsevier
Odd symplectic Grassmannians are a generalization of symplectic Grassmannians to odd-
dimensional spaces. Here we compute the classical and quantum cohomology of the odd …

Conjecture holds for the odd symplectic Grassmannian

C Li, LC Mihalcea, RM Shifler - Bulletin of the London …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Property O, introduced by Galkin et al. for arbitrary complex, Fano manifolds X, is a
statement about the eigenvalues of the linear operator obtained by the quantum …

Characterizing symplectic Grassmannians by varieties of minimal rational tangents

JM Hwang, Q Li - Journal of Differential Geometry, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
We show that if the variety of minimal rational tangents (VMRT) of a uniruled projective
manifold at a general point is projectively equivalent to that of a symplectic or an odd …

Equivariant Ulrich bundles on exceptional homogeneous varieties

KS Lee, KD Park - Advances in Geometry, 2021 - degruyter.com
We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the
exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the …

Equivariant quantum cohomology of the odd symplectic Grassmannian

LC Mihalcea, RM Shifler - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2019 - Springer
The odd symplectic Grassmannian IG:= IG (k, 2n+ 1) IG:= IG (k, 2 n+ 1) parametrizes k
dimensional subspaces of C^ 2n+ 1 C 2 n+ 1 which are isotropic with respect to a general …
