Schubert complexes and degeneracy loci (Q657977)

Recall: Given a map of vector bundles \(\varphi : E \to F\) of ranks \(e\), respectively \(f\), the degeneracy locus \(D_k(\varphi)\) of the points where \(\mathrm{rank}(\varphi )\leq k\) (assume \(k \leq \min (e,f)\)) has codimension at most \((e-k)(f-k)\). When this is the codimension, the homology class of \(D_k(\varphi)\) is expressed (Thom-Porteous formula) as a multi-Schur function in Chern classes of \(E\) and \(F\). Moreover, there is a (Schur) complex which gives a linear resolution of a Cohen-Macaulay coherent sheaf with support \(D_k(\varphi)\). The formula for the homology class of \(D_k(\varphi)\) was generalized by \textit{W. Fulton} [Duke Math. J. 65, No. 3, 381--420 (1992; Zbl 0788.14044)] to degeneracy loci defined by an array of numbers corresponding to conditions on ranks of \(E_p \to F_q\) for a map between a flag \(E_\bullet\) of subbundles of \(E\) and a flag of quotients \(F_\bullet\) of \(F\). In this paper, parallelizing the above situation, one constructs maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules supported on these generalized Schubert degeneracy loci. The complexes introduced here extend the Schubert functors of Kraśkiewcz and Pragacz. This short presentation cannot give the whole richness of the paper under review.
