Pattern Avoidance and Fiber Bundle Structures on Schubert Varieties
Abstract.
We give a permutation pattern avoidance criteria for determining when
the projection map from the flag variety to a Grassmannian induces a
fiber bundle structure on a Schubert variety. In particular, we show
that a Schubert variety has such a fiber bundle structure if and only
if the corresponding permutation avoids the split patterns 3|12 and
23|1. We also show that a Schubert variety is an iterated fiber
bundle of Grassmannian Schubert varieties if and only if the
corresponding permutation avoids (non-split) patterns 3412, 52341, and
635241.
