Abstract

A fundamental problem at the confluence of algebraic geometry and representation theory is to describe the cohomology of line bundles on flag varieties over a field of characteristic p. When p=0, the solution is given by the celebrated Borel-Weil-Bott Theorem, while for p>0 the problem is widely open. In this note we describe a collection of open questions that arise from the study of particular cases of the general theory, focusing on their combinatorial and commutative algebra aspects.
