PBW degenerate Schubert varieties: Cartan components and counterexamples (Q829540)

This manuscript focuses on PBW degenerations of Demazure modules and Schubert varieties as interesting properties were obtained in type \(\mathrm A\), such as PBW degenerations embed naturally into the corresponding degenerate representations and flag varieties, but only with restrictions on the Weyl group element or the highest weight. I. Makhlin show that these properties cannot hold in full generality due to the issue with the definition: the degenerate variety depends on the highest weight used to define it, and not only on its Weyl group stabilizer. The author constructs minimal counterexamples for \(\mathfrak{sl}_6\) in Section \(4\), which are constructed with the aid of a study of the Cartan components appearing in this context.
