Schubert Cells of Flags












2












$begingroup$


I have been reading on these notes Undergraduate Lectures on Flag Varieties and I need some explanations on two things:




  1. In page 3, how he modefied the matrices in the "Second Attempt"


  2. In the same manner, how can I get the flag $Fl(1,2,3)(mathbb C^3)$?



Thanks for your help!

    For 1, note that if the star in the second column and second row in the first attempt for the ${1,3}$ matrix is nonzero, then we can divide the row by it and obtain a matrix of the form for ${1,2}$. This causes overlap, and if we insist that instead that spot have a zero in it then there is no overlap. Similar arguments apply for the other matrices.

    For 2, the book "Young Tableaux" by Fulton has a detailed account for the complete flag variety. Perhaps someone will write an answer but a full explanation would be lengthy.

    For a quick and dirty explanantion that offers no insight, take a $3times 3$ permutation matrix and draw a star in every unoccupied spot that is not above (in the same column) or to the right (in the same row) of any $1$. Put $0$s everywhere else. That's the Schubert cell corresponding to the permutation matrix.

    @Matt, For 1, I still don't see the case {1,4}, {2,3} can you please explain it like what you did for the case {1,3} earlier?

For example, for the permutation 312 (which has length $2$, so the cell should have codimension $2$, dimension $1$) we have
$$left[begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\1&0&0\ast&1&0end{array}right]$$
and for 213 (length $1$, codimension $1$, dimension $2$) we have
$$left[begin{array}{ccc}0&1&0\1&0&0\ast&ast&1end{array}right]$$
