Orbits of strongly solvable spherical subgroups on the flag variety (Q722812)

Let \(H\) be a spherical subgroup of a connected complex reductive algebraic group \(G\), let \(B\subset G\) be a Borel subgroup. The flag variety \(G/B\) has finitely many \(H\)-orbits as well as the space \(G/H\) has finitely many \(B\)-orbits. The study of the geometry of the \(H\)-orbits and their closures in \(G/B\) is equivalent to the study of the \(B\)-orbits and their closures in \(G/H\). In both cases it is a generalization of the study of the geometry of the Schubert cells and Schubert varieties. Furthermore, there is an action of the Weyl group \(W\) of \(G\) on the set of \(B\)-orbits in \(G/H\), defined by \textit{F. Knop} in great generality [Comment. Math. Helv. 70, No. 2, 285--309 (1995; Zbl 0828.22016)], which generalizes the action of \(W\) on the set of Schubert classes given by the action of \(W\) on itself by multiplication. Here the authors consider strongly solvable spherical subgroups \(H\), that is, spherical subgroups which are contained in a Borel subgroup. The classification of strongly solvable spherical subgroups in combinatorial terms is well known, see [\textit{R. Avdeev}, Sel. Math., New Ser. 21, No. 3, 931--993 (2015; Zbl 1355.14034)]. In this case the authors provide an explicit parametrization of the set of \(B\)-orbits in \(G/H\) together with an explicit description of the action of \(W\).
