${\sf K}$-orbit closures and Barbasch–Evens–Magyar varieties

Laura Escobar, Benjamin J. Wyser and Alexander Yong

Vol. 320 (2022), No. 1, 103–132
Abstract

We define the Barbasch–Evens–Magyar varieties. We show they are isomorphic to the smooth varieties defined in [D. Barbasch and S. Evens 1994] that map generically finitely to symmetric orbit closures, thereby giving resolutions of singularities in certain cases. Our definition parallels P. Magyar’s [1998] construction of the Bott–Samelson varieties [H. C. Hansen 1973; M. Demazure 1974]. From this alternative viewpoint, one deduces a graphical description in type A, stratification into closed subvarieties of the same kind, and determination of the torus-fixed points. Moreover, we explain how these manifolds inherit a natural symplectic structure with Hamiltonian torus action. We then express the moment polytope in terms of the moment polytope of a Bott–Samelson variety.
