Abstract

A Schubert variety in the flag manifold GLn/B is Levi-spherical if the action of a Borel subgroup in a Levi subgroup of a standard parabolic has an open dense orbit. We present some recent combinatorial developments on this topic, including a classification in terms of spherical elements of a symmetric group. We offer a new conjecture that extends the classification to other Lie types, along with supporting evidence.
