Minimal parabolic subgroups and automorphism groups of Schubert varieties

Publication date 20 September 2022

Abstract: Let

G

be a simple simply-laced algebraic group of adjoint type over the field

m a t h b b C

of complex numbers,

B

be a Borel subgroup of

G

containing a maximal torus

T

of

G .

In this article, we show that

o m e g a_{a} l p h a

is a minuscule fundamental weight if and only if for any parabolic subgroup

Q

containing

B

properly, there is no Schubert variety

X_{Q} (w)

in

G / Q

such that the minimal parabolic subgroup

P_{a l p h a}

of

G

is the connected component, containing the identity automorphism of the group of all algebraic automorphisms of

X_{Q} (w) .
