Abstract

Let be a simple algebraic group and a parabolic subgroup of with abelian unipotent radical , and let be a Borel subgroup of contained in . Let be the Lie algebra of and a Levi factor of . Then is a Hermitian symmetric subgroup of and acts with finitely many orbits both on and on . In this paper we study the Bruhat order of the -orbits in and in , proving respectively a conjecture of Panyushev and a conjecture of Richardson and Ryan.
