   That’s not well put at flag variety, is it?

   More generally, the generalized flag variety is the complex projective variety obtained as the coset space $G/T\cong G^{\mathbb{C}}/B$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group, $T$ its maximal torus, $G^{\mathbb{C}}$ the complexification of $G$, which is a complex semisimple group, and $B\subset G^{\mathbb{C}}$ is the Borel subgroup. It has a structure of a compact Kähler manifold. It is a special case of the larger family of coset spaces of semisimple groups modulo parabolics which includes, for example, Grassmannians.

   The ’larger family’ are the generalized flag varieties, no?
