Abstract

Recently Brosnan and Chow have proven a conjecture of Shareshian and Wachs describing a representation of the symmetric group on the cohomology of regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties for GLn(C)GL_n(\mathbb{C}). A key component of their argument is that the Betti numbers of regular Hessenberg varieties for GLn(C)GL_n(\mathbb{C}) are palindromic. In this paper, we extend this result to all reductive algebraic groups, proving that the Betti numbers of regular Hessenberg varieties are palindromic.
