Abstract

We introduce rectangular elements in the symmetric group. In the framework of PBW degenerations, we show that in type A the degenerate Schubert variety associated with a rectangular element is indeed a Schubert variety in a partial ag variety of the same type with larger rank. Moreover, the degenerate Demazure module associated with a rectangular element is isomorphic to the Demazure module for this particular Schubert variety of larger rank. This generalises previous results by Cerulli Irelli, Lanini and Littelmann for the PBW degenerate ag variety in [CLL].
