Weak Order on Complete Quadrics

Combinatorics 2012-03-09 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Using an action of the Richardson-Springer monoid on involutions, we study the weak order on the variety of complete quadrics. Maximal chains in the poset are explicitly determined. Applying results of Brion, our calculations describe certain cohomology classes in the complete flag variety.
