Standard monomial theory for flag algebras of GL\((n)\)and Sp\((2n)\) (Q947483)

Let \(G\) be a connected reductive complex algebraic group and \(U\) be a maximal unipotent subgroup of \(G\). The algebra of regular functions \(\mathbb{C}[G/U]\) on the homogeneous space \(G/U\) plays an important role in representation theory. The author calls it the flag algebra. The main goal of the paper is to develop standard monomial theory for this algebra in the cases when \(G\) is the general linear group and the symplectic group. For this the algebra \(\mathbb{C}[G/U]\) is realized is the algebra of \(U\)-invariant for the \(\text{GL}(n)\times\text{GL}(n)\)-action on the space of \((n\times n)\)-matrices. In the symplectic case, the flag algebra is obtained from this algebra as a quotient modulo some ideal \(J\). A Gröbner basis of the ideal \(J\) is calculated. From this realization the author obtains explicit standard monomial bases for irreducible representations. Another goal is to recreate known combinatorial results concerning Young tableaux and Gelfand-Tseitlin patterns as well as toric degenerations of flag varieties from the structure of leading monomials. The text, where the same techniques will be applied to the orthogonal group, is in preparation. Reviewer's remark: There is a misprint in the references: in [Ke05] it should be K. Kaveh as the author's name.
