Ideals defining components of two-row Springer fibers

Cristina Sabando-Alvarez, Martha Precup

Springer fibers are subvarieties of the flag variety parameterized by nilpotent matrices. They are central objects of study in geometry representation theory. This paper focuses on…

Richardson tableaux and components of Springer fibers equal to Richardson varieties

Steven N. Karp, Martha E. Precup

Motivated by the study of Springer fibers and their totally nonnegative counterparts, we define a new subset of standard tableaux called Richardson tableaux. We characterize Richar…

Minimal semisimple Hessenberg schemes

Rebecca Goldin, Martha Precup

We study a collection of Hessenberg varieties in the type A flag variety associated to a nonzero semisimple matrix whose conjugacy class has minimal dimension. We prove each such m…

Geometric and combinatorial properties of extended Springer fibers

William Graham, Martha Precup, Amber Russell

We consider a generalization of the Springer resolution studied in earlier work of the authors, called the extended Springer resolution. In type , this map plays a role in Luszt…

Torus fixed point sets of Hessenberg Schubert varieties in regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties

Megumi Harada, Martha Precup

It is well-known that the -fixed points of a Schubert variety in the flag variety can be characterized purely combinatorially in terms of Bruhat order on th…

Which Schubert Varieties are Hessenberg Varieties?

Laura Escobar, Martha Precup, John Shareshian

After proving that every Schubert variety in the full flag variety of a complex reductive group is a general Hessenberg variety, we show that not all such Schubert varieties ar…
