Schur rigidity of Schubert varieties in rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number one

Abstract: Given a rational homogeneous manifold

S = G / P

of Picard number one and a Schubert variety

S_{0}

of

S

, the pair

(S, S_{0})

is said to be homologically rigid if any subvariety of

S

having the same homology class as

S_{0}

must be a translate of

S_{0}

by the automorphism group of

S

. The pair

(S, S_{0})

is said to be Schur rigid if any subvariety of

S

with homology class equal to a multiple of the homology class of

S_{0}

must be a sum of translates of

S_{0}

. Earlier we completely determined homologically rigid pairs

(S, S_{0})

in case

S_{0}

is homogeneous and answered the same question in smooth non-homogeneous cases. In this article we consider Schur rigidity, proving that

(S, S_{0})

exhibits Schur rigidity whenever

S_{0}

is a non-linear smooth Schubert variety.
