Title: Minuscule exceptional Schubert varieties

Abstract: 
I will talk about Schubert varieties in the homogeneous spaces G/P, where G is an exceptional reductive 
algebraic group and P is a minuscule parabolic subgroup. By computational methods as well as hands-on 
analysis, we explicitly describe the defining ideals of the intersections of these Schubert varieties 
with the big open cell. We show that some of them as well as their resolutions are related to well-known 
ideals resp. resolutions in other contexts. This is joint work with Sara Angela Filippini and Jerzy Weyman.
