Galkin's lower bound conjecture holds for the Grassmannian

Algebraic Geometry 2020-06-23 v1

Abstract

Let Gr(k,n)(k,n) be the Grassmannian. The quantum multiplication by the first Chern class c1(Gr(k,n))c_1({\rm Gr}(k,n)) induces an endomorphism c^1\hat c_1 of the finite-dimensional vector space QH(Gr(k,n))q=1\mathrm{QH}^*({\rm Gr}(k,n))_{|q=1} specialized at q=1q=1. Our main result is a case that a conjecture by Galkin holds. It states that the largest real eigenvalue of c^1\hat{c}_1 is greater than or equal to dimGr(k,n)\dim {\rm Gr}(k,n)+1 with equality if and only if Gr(k,n)=Pn1(k,n)=\mathbb{P}^{n-1}.
