Abstract

In this paper, a description of the set-theoretical defining equations of symplectic (type C) Grassmannian/flag/Schubert varieties in corresponding (type A) algebraic varieties is given as linear polynomials in Plücker coordinates, and it is proved that such equations generate the defining ideal of variety of type C in those of type A. As applications of this result, the number of local equations required to obtain the Schubert variety of type C from the Schubert variety of type A is computed, and further geometric properties of the Schubert variety of type C are given in the aspect of complete intersections. Finally, the smoothness of Schubert variety in the non-minuscule or cominuscule Grassmannian of type C is discussed, filling gaps in the study of algebraic varieties of the same type.
