$V(X|Y)=Sigma_{XX}-Sigma_{XY}Sigma_{YY}^{-1}Sigma_{YX}$
$begingroup$
We know that the conditional variance of a multivariate normal vector $(X,Y)$ is equal to the Schur complement:
$$V(X|Y)=Sigma_{XX}-Sigma_{XY}Sigma_{YY}^{-1}Sigma_{YX}$$
However, $Sigma_{XX}-Sigma_{XY}Sigma_{YY}^{-1}Sigma_{YX}$ is a matrix of scalars, whereas $V(X|Y)$ is a matrix of random variables function of Y. Therefore, I guess that the Schur complement is the variance of X conditional to a certain realization of Y, $V(X|Y=(y_1,...,y_n))$, is it correct? If so, who is this $(y_1,...,y_n)$?
Thank you very much.

You are right when you said:
Therefore, I guess that the Schur complement is the variance of X conditional to a certain realization of Y.
Regard the vector $$Z = begin{bmatrix} X \ Y end{bmatrix} sim N( underbrace{begin{bmatrix} mu_X \ mu_Y end{bmatrix}}_{mu}; underbrace{begin{bmatrix} Sigma_{XX} & Sigma_{XY} \ Sigma_{XY} & Sigma_{YY} end{bmatrix}}_{Sigma} )$$
All we did is partition a given Normal vector into $2$ subvectors. Now, if you want to find $V(X|Y)$, it turns out to be (using Schurs' complement), nothing other than the equation you have provided.
