First sentence: The study of Schubert varieties arising out of 19th century classical projective geometry took on a more modern treatment with the work of Ehresmann, then Chevalley, and later Bernstein, Gelfand, Gelfand and Demazure.
Description: "Singular Loci of Schubert Varieties is a work at the crossroads of representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. In this work, Billey and Lakshmibai have recreated and restructured the various theories and approaches of those articles and present a clearer understanding of this important subdiscipline of Schubert varieties - namely singular loci."--BOOK JACKET.
