These are extended notes of a talk given at Maurice Auslander Distinguished Lectures and International Conference (Woods Hole, MA) in April 2013. Their aim is to give an introduction into Schubert calculus on Grassmannians and flag…
Let G be a complex semisimple group and U its maximal unipotent subgroup. We study the algebra D(G/U) of algebraic differential operators on G/U and also its quasi-classical counterpart: the algebra of regular functions on the cotangent…
Many interesting families of polynomials are indexed by permutations or related objects, and are defined by applying divided difference operators, modified by polynomials, on some initial base case. The fact that these constructions produce…
We prove a Chevalley formula for the equivariant quantum multiplication of two Schubert classes in the homogeneous variety X=G/P. As in the case when X is a Grassmannian, studied by the author in a previous paper, this formula implies an…
Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, P \subset G a parabolic subgroup. We prove an unpublished result of D. Peterson which states that the quantum cohomology QH^*(G/P) of a flag variety is, up to localization, a…
We give a complete classification of conformally covariant differential operators between the spaces of differential $i$-forms on the sphere $S^n$ and $j$-forms on the totally geodesic hypersphere $S^{n-1}$ by analyzing the restriction of…
One hundred years ago, Hilbert gave a list of important open problems in mathematics. His 15th problem asked for the development of a rigorous calculus explaining Schubert's enumerative results for intersecting varieties defined by rank…
This article gives a fundamental discussion on variable coefficients, self-adjoint, formally partially hypoelliptic differential operators. A generalization of the results to pseudo differential operators, is given in a following article in…
In one variable, there exists a satisfactory classification of commutative rings of differential operators. In several variables, even the simplest generalizations seem to be unknown and in this report we give examples and pose questions…
Characteristic classes of Schubert varieties can be used to study the geometry and the combinatorics of homogeneous spaces. We prove a relation between elliptic classes of Schubert varieties on a generalized full flag variety and those on…
We establish some properties of the ring of differential operators on the quantized flag manifold. Especially, we give an explicit description of its localization on an affine open subset in terms of the quantum Weyl algebra ($q$-analogue…
An attempt is given to formulate the extensions of the KP hierarchy by introducing fractional order pseudo-differential operators. In the case of the extension with the half-order pseudo-differential operators, a system analogous to the…
Let $X=G/P$ be a real projective quadric, where $G=O(p,q)$ and $P$ is a parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $\left(\pi_{\lambda,\epsilon}, \mathcal{H}_{\lambda,\epsilon}\right)_{ (\lambda,\epsilon)\in \mathbb {C}\times \{\pm\}}$ be the family of…
The Chevalley-Eilenberg differential calculus and differential operators over N-graded commutative rings are constructed. This is a straightforward generalization of the differential calculus over commutative rings, and it is the most…
We propose a new approach to the multiplication of Schubert classes in the K-theory of the flag variety. This extends the work of Fomin and Kirillov in the cohomology case, and is based on the quadratic algebra defined by them. More…
Derivatives and integration operators are well-studied examples of linear operators that commute with scaling up to a fixed multiplicative factor; i.e., they are scale-invariant. Fractional order derivatives (integration operators) also…
We study the PI degree of various quantum algebras at roots of unity, including quantum Grassmannians, quantum Schubert varieties, partition subalgebras, and their associated quantum affine spaces. By a theorem of De Concini and Procesi,…
Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are a family of subvarieties of the flag variety that arise in number theory, numerical analysis, representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. We give a "Giambelli formula" expressing…
Barr--Beck cohomology, put into the framework of model categories by Quillen, provides a cohomology theory for any algebraic structure, for example Andr\'e--Quillen cohomology of commutative rings. Quillen cohomology has been studied…
