Compactification des variétés de Deligne-Lusztig

Abstract

We construct explicitly the normalisation of the Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen compactification of Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X(w)$ in their covering $Y(w)$: we retrieve a result by Deligne-Lusztig about the local monodromy around the divisors of the compactification.
