Rigidity of Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen variety for PSO(2n+1, \mathbb{C})

Abstract: Let

G = P S O (2 n + 1, m a t h b b C) (n g e 3)

and

B

be the Borel subgroup of

G

containing maximal torus

T

of

G .

Let

w

be an element of Weyl group

W

and

X (w)

be the Schubert variety in the flag variety

G / B

corresponding to

w .

Let

Z (w, u n d e r l i n e i)

be the Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen variety (the desingularization of

X (w)

) corresponding to a reduced expression

u n d e r l i n e i

of

w .

In this article, we study the cohomology modules of the tangent bundle on

Z (w_{0}, u n d e r l i n e i),

where

w_{0}

is the longest element of the Weyl group

W .

We describe all the reduced expressions of

w_{0}

in terms of a Coxeter element such that all the higher cohomology modules of the tangent bundle on

Z (w_{0}, u n d e r l i n e i)

vanish (see Theorem ef{theorem 8.1}).
