Abstract
Let
be an equivariant embedding of a connected reductive group
over an algebraically closed field
of positive characteristic. Let
denote a Borel subgroup of
. A
-Schubert variety in
is a subvariety of the form
, where
is a
-orbit closure in
. In the case where
is the wonderful compactification of a group of adjoint type, the
-Schubert varieties are the closures of Lusztig's
-stable pieces. We prove that
admits a Frobenius splitting that compatibly splits all the
-Schubert varieties. Moreover, any
-Schubert variety admits stable Frobenius splittings along ample divisors in case X is projective. Although this indicates that
-Schubert varieties have nice singularities we give an example, in the wonderful compactification of a group of adjoint type, which is not normal. Finally we also extend the Frobenius splitting results to the more general class of
-Schubert varieties.
