Summary:

The study of singular loci, an important sub-discipline of Schubert varieties, lies at the crossroads of representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. To present a clearer understanding of the subject, the authors have recreated and restructured the various theories and approaches previously available only in journal articles. The book gives a systematic presentation of a wide range of topics and presents new results with sufficient examples, as well as numerous tables -- none of which are found elsewhere in the mathematics literature.
