Abstract

We prove that Schubert varieties in potentially different Grassmannians are isomorphic as varieties if and only if their corresponding Young diagrams are identical up to a transposition. We also discuss a generalization of this result to Grassmannian Richardson varieties. In particular, we prove that Richardson varieties in potentially different Grassmannians are isomorphic as varieties if their corresponding skew diagrams are semi-isomorphic as posets, and we conjecture the converse. Here, two posets are said to be semi-isomorphic if there is a bijection between their sets of connected components such that the corresponding components are either isomorphic or opposite.
