On the Motive of certain subvarieties of fixed Flags
There is a canonical desingularization of the Unipotent variety of , whose fibres can be identified with the variety of fixed flags under the action of the corresponding unipotent element. If this unipotent element is of type , meaning its Jordan canonical form has two blocks of sizes , then we will see that the irreducible components of the fiber have a very simple geometrical description and use this description to compute the corresponding Chow Motives.
