Associated varieties and characteristic cycles are covered as well and Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials are treated. The coverage concludes with a discussion of pattern avoidance and singularities and some recent results on Springer fibers UR - https://www.degruyterbrill.com/isbn/9783110766943 UR - https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110766943/original ER -
