Abstract: In this paper we construct free resolutions of certain class of closed subvarieties of affine spaces (the so-called "opposite big cells" of Grassmannians). Our class covers the determinantal varieties, whose resolutions were first constructed by A. Lascoux (Adv. Math., 1978). Our approach uses the geometry of Schubert varieties. An interesting aspect of our work is its connection to the computation of the cohomology of homogeneous bundles (that are not necessarily completely reducible) on partial flag varieties.

Review text

The authors construct free resolutions for the coordinate rings of some subvarieties of Grassmannians \(G(n,N)\), over the complex field. Considering \(G(n,N)\) as the quotient of \(\mathrm{GL}_N\) by the action of a parabolic group \(P\), then its Schubert subvarieties \(X(w)\) correspond to orbits of (the classes of) elements \(w\in\mathrm{GL}_N\) under the action of the group of upper triangular matrices. Define the \textit{opposite big cell} \(O^-\) as the orbit of the identity under the group of lower triangular matrices. The authors consider \textit{opposite cell varieties}, defined as intersections \(Y(w)=X(w)\cap O^-\). The authors determine a free resolution for opposite cell varieties \(Y(w)\). The construction is effective when \(w\) is suitably chosen in \(\mathrm{GL}_N\). Opposite cell varieties for which the construction is effective fill a wide class of subvarieties of Grassmannians, which properly includes determinantal varieties. The method relies in the computation of the cohomology of a vector bundle over a desingularization of \(Y(w)\). The bundle is a restriction of a homogeneous bundle over a quotient \(P/\tilde P\), for a suitable subgroup \(\tilde P\). The bundle is not completely reducible, yet the authors are able to compute its cohomology, by restricting to the pieces of a suitable filtration of \(P/\tilde P\).
