Torus orbit closures in the flag variety
arXiv:2203.16750
Abstract
The study of torus orbit closures in the (complete) flag variety was initiated by Klyachko and Gelfand--Serganova in the mid-1980s, but it seems that not much has been done since then. In this chapter, we present some of the work by Klyachko and Gelfand--Serganova and our recent work on the topology, geometry, and combinatorics of torus orbit closures in the flag variety.
