Shin-Young Kim, Minimal Rational Curves on Complete Symmetric Varieties
B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic ofSpeaker Shin-Young Kim IBS-CGP We describe the families of minimal rational curves on any complete symmetric variety, and the corresponding varieties of minimal rational tangents. In particular, we prove that these varieties are homogeneous and that for non-exceptional irreducible wonderful varieties, there is a unique family of minimal rational curves. We relate these …
