Gröbner fans of Hibi ideals, generalized Hibi ideals and flag varieties (2003.02916v2)

Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to give explicit descriptions of two maximal cones in the Gr\"obner fan of the Pl\"ucker ideal. These cones correspond to the monomial ideals given by semistandard and PBW-semistandard Young tableaux. For the first cone, as an intermediate result we obtain the description of a maximal cone in the Gr\"obner fan of any Hibi ideal. For the second, we generalize the notion of Hibi ideals by associating an ideal with every interpolating polytope. This is a family of polytopes that generalizes the order and chain polytopes of a poset (`a la Fang--Fourier--Litza--Pegel). We then describe a maximal cone in the Gr\"obner fan of each of these ideals. We also establish some useful facts concerning PBW-semistandardness, in particular, we prove that it provides a new Hodge algebra structure on the Pl\"ucker algebra.
