Schur Q-functions and degeneracy locus formulas for morphisms with symmetries

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We give closed-form formulas for the fundamental classes of degeneracy loci associated with vector bundle maps given locally by (not necessary square) matrices which are symmetric (resp. skew-symmetric) w.r.t. the main diagonal. Our description uses essentially Schur Q-polynomials of a bundle, and is based on a certain push-forward formula for these polynomials in a Grassmann bundle.
