Abstract

A variety is Gorenstein if it is Cohen-Macualay and its canonical sheaf is a line bundle. This property implies a variety behaves like a smooth one for various algebra-geometric purposes. We introduce a new notion of pattern avoidance involving Bruhat order and use it to characterize which Schubert varieties are Gorenstein. We also give an explicit description as a line bundle of the canonical sheaf of a Gorenstein Schubert variety.
