Local cohomology with Schubert support on compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

Source abstract

We consider local cohomology sheaves on compact Hermitian symmetric spaces supported in Schubert varieties, which carry natural structures as mixed Hodge modules. Our main result gives an explicit root-theoretic construction, uniform across Lie types, for the D-simple composition factors and weight filtration on these modules. For Lagrangian and orthogonal Grassmannians, we translate these formulas into combinatorial rules involving strict partitions and shifted Dyck patterns, analogous to existing formulas on ordinary Grassmannians. As an application, we expand upon work of Raicu--Weyman to describe the weight filtration on local cohomology supported in symmetric determinantal and Pfaffian varieties. We also give formulas for the Hodge rational homology level and local cohomological defect of every Schubert variety in a compact Hermitian symmetric space. Finally, we tabulate the local cohomology weight filtrations for all Schubert varieties in the two exceptional Hermitian pairs.
