Hypercube Richardson varieties from magic words
Abstract
Inspired by the recent preprint of Ellenberg, Libedinsky, Plaza, Simental, and Williamson, we study the geometry of Richardson varieties whose associated Bruhat intervals are boolean posets. We define magic words for a Bruhat interval and prove that for intervals with magic words the associated Richardson variety is a tower of ℙ1-s. We also prove that the Bruhat intervals consisting of the dyadically well-distributed permutations all have magic words. This gives a new proof that they form a boolean poset.

We define magic words for a Bruhat interval and prove that for intervals with magic words the associated Richardson variety is a tower of ℙ^1-s. We also prove that the Bruhat intervals consisting of the dyadically well-distributed permutations all have magic words. This gives a new proof that they form a boolean poset.
