Abstract

The affine Grassmannian of a semisimple complex algebraic group is an infinite-dimensional homogeneous space for which many properties analogous to those of finite-dimensional Grassmannians hold.  In particular, one can define Schubert varieties, which are singular projective varieties.  In the case of $SL_n \mathbb{C}$, I will describe a way of obtaining resolutions of these varieties by means of pairs of Hecke modifications of an associated vector bundle.  I will also try to discuss other known methods of obtaining such resolutions.
