Odd symplectic Grassmannians are a family of quasi-homogeneous varieties with properties nevertheless similar to those of homogeneous spaces, such as the existence of a Schubert-type cohomology basis. In this talk based on joint work with Ryan Shifler, I will explain how to construct their curve neighbourhoods. Curve neighbourhoods were first introduced by Buch, Chaput, Mihalcea and Perrin in the homogeneous setting: it is the union of all rational curves of fixed degree passing through a given Schubert variety. Potential applications include the computation of minimal degrees in quantum cohomology.
