review text: The authors construct free resolutions for the coordinate rings of some subvarieties of Grassmannians \(G(n,N)\), over the complex field. Considering \(G(n,N)\) as the quotient of \(\mathrm{GL}_N\) by the action of a parabolic group \(P\), then its Schubert subvarieties \(X(w)\) correspond to orbits of (the classes of) elements \(w\in\mathrm{GL}_N\) under the action of the group of upper triangular matrices. Define the \textit{opposite big cell} \(O^-\) as the orbit of the identity under the group of lower triangular matrices. The authors consider \textit{opposite cell varieties}, defined as intersections \(Y(w)=X(w)\cap O^-\). The authors determine a free resolution for opposite cell varieties \(Y(w)\). The construction is effective when \(w\) is suitably chosen in \(\mathrm{GL}_N\). Opposite cell varieties for which the construction is effective fill a wide class of subvarieties of Grassmannians, which properly includes determinantal varieties. The method relies in the computation of the cohomology of a vector bundle over a desingularization of \(Y(w)\). The bundle is a restriction of a homogeneous bundle over a quotient \(P/\tilde P\), for a suitable subgroup \(\tilde P\). The bundle is not completely reducible, yet the authors are able to compute its cohomology, by restricting to the pieces of a suitable filtration of \(P/\tilde P\).
