Curve neighborhoods and combinatorial property $\mathcal{O}$ for a family of odd symplectic partial flag manifolds

Abstract: Let $E$ be an odd dimensional complex vector space and $\mbox{IF}:=\mbox{IF}(1,2;E)$ be the family of odd symplectic partial flag manifold. In this paper we give a full description of the irreducible components of the degree $d$ curve neighborhood of any Schubert variety of $\mbox{IF}$, study their lattice structure, and prove a combinatorial version of Conjecture $\mathcal{O}.$
