Abstract: Let Fllambda be a generalized flag variety of a simple Lie group G embedded into the projectivization of an irreducible G-module Vlambda. We define a flat degeneration Fllambdaa, which is a mathbbGaM variety. Moreover, there exists a larger group Ga acting on Fllambdaa, which is a degeneration of the group G. The group Ga contains mathbbGaM as a normal subgroup. If G is of type A, then the degenerate flag varieties can be embedded into the product of Grassmanians and thus to the product of projective spaces. The defining ideal of Fllaambda is generated by the set of degenerate Pl" ucker relations. We prove that the coordinate ring of Fllambdaa is isomorphic to a direct sum of dual PBW-graded g-modules. We also prove that there exist bases in multi-homogeneous components of the coordinate rings, parametrized by the semistandard PBW-tableux, which are analogues of semistandard tableux.


Let \(G\) be a simple Lie group. The flag varieties associated with \(G\) are the homogeneous spaces \(G/P\) by the parabolic subgroups. These varieties can be realized as \(G\)-orbits \(G[v_{\lambda}]\subseteq\mathbb{P}(V_{\lambda})\) in the projectivization of the simple \(G\)-modules \(V_{\lambda}\) with the highest weight vector \(v_{\lambda}\). Let us denote \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}=G[v_{\lambda}]\). In this paper, the author introduces a family of varieties \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}^a\), which are flat degenerations of \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}\). These varieties are equipped with an action of the \(M\)-fold product \(\mathbb{G}_a^M\) of the additive group of the ground field with an open orbit, where \(M\) is the dimension of a maximal unipotent subgroup of \(G\). Moreover, there exists a larger group \(G^a\) acting on \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}^a\), which is a degeneration of the group \(G\) and which contains \(\mathbb{G}_a^M\) as a normal subgroup. If \(G\) is of type \(A\), then the degenerate flag varieties can be embedded into the product of Grassmannians and thus into the product of projective spaces. The defining ideal of \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}^a\) is generated by the set of degenerate Plücker relations. It is proved that the coordinate ring of \(\mathcal{F}_{\lambda}^a\) is isomorphic to a direct sum of dual PBW-graded modules. Also it is shown that there exists bases in multi-dimensional components of the coordinate rings parametrized by the semistandard PBW-tableaux.
