Uniform decomposition of the flag scheme by a symmetric subgroup action

In this paper, we establish a scheme-theoretic analog of the works of Matsuki and Richardson–Springer on the symmetric subgroup orbit decomposition of the flag variety under a certain assumption that asserts local constancy of their combinatorial description of the classification of orbits at geometric points (the local constancy hypothesis). We also prove that scheme-theoretic models of orbits are affinely imbedded into the flag scheme under the same assumption (Beilinson–Bernstein’s affinity theorem). Finally, we compute some classical examples to give scheme-theoretic consequences of the geometric point free and descent phenomena of orbit decompositions.
