Hodge rigidity of Chern classes

Yuxiang Liu, Artan Sheshmani, Shing-Tung Yau

Abstract

In this paper, we study the homogeneous components of the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson (CSM) classes of Schubert cells. We prove that, under suitable conditions, each such component is represented by an irreducible subvariety. In particular, our result extends Huh's result \cite{Huh} by relaxing the regularity assumption on log resolutions. As a consequence, the conclusion holds for all cominuscule Schubert cells of classical type and for a large family of exceptional cases. We also obtain analogous results for certain Schubert varieties in symplectic Grassmannians and flag varieties.

Key Result

Theorem 1.2

Let $X$ be a Schubert variety in a homogeneous variety $G/P$, and let $X^\circ$ be the corresponding Schubert cell. Assume that there exists a $B$-equivariant log-resolution $\pi:Y\rightarrow X$ such that $Y$ has only finitely many $B$-orbits. Then each homogeneous component of $c_{SM}(X^\circ)$ is
