Isotropic Kempf–Laksov flag bundles

Abstract

We introduce analogs of the Kempf–Laksov desingularizations of Schubert bundles in (non-necessary Lagrangian) symplectic Grassmann bundles. In this setting, these are (possibly singular) irreducible flag bundles that are birational to Schubert bundles, and can be described as chains of zero-loci of regular sections in projectivized bundles. The orthogonal analogs are also presented. We immediately derive universal Gysin formulas for isotropic Schubert bundles from these very constructions.
