Abstract

A regular semisimple Hessenberg variety Hess(S,h)\mathrm{Hess}(S,h) is a smooth subvariety of the flag variety determined by a square matrix SS with distinct eigenvalues and a Hessenberg function hh. The cohomology ring H(Hess(S,h))H^*(\mathrm{Hess}(S,h)) is independent of the choice of SS and is not explicitly described except for a few cases. In this paper, we characterize the Hessenberg function hh such that H(Hess(S,h))H^*(\mathrm{Hess}(S,h)) is generated in degree two as a ring. It turns out that such hh is what is called a (double) lollipop.
