| contents | We study geometric and topological properties of Hessenberg varieties of codimension one in the type A flag variety. Our main results: (1) give a formula for the Poincaré polynomial, (2) characterize when these varieties are irreducible, and (3) show that all are reduced schemes. We prove that the singular locus of any nilpotent codimension one Hessenberg variety is also a Hessenberg variety. A key tool in our analysis is a new result applying to all (type A) Hessenberg varieties without any restriction on codimension, which states that their Poincaré polynomials can be computed by counting the points in the corresponding variety defined over a finite field. The results below were originally motivated by work of the authors in [arXiv:2107.07929] studying the precise relationship between Hessenberg and Schubert varieties, and we obtain a corollary extending the results from that paper to all codimension one (type A) Schubert varieties. |
