Property $\mathcal{O}$ for an arbitrary complex, Fano manifold $X$, is a statement about the eigenvalues of the linear operator obtained from the quantum multiplication of the anticanonical class of $X$. Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ is a…

The odd symplectic Grassmannian $\mathrm{IG}:=\mathrm{IG}(k, 2n+1)$ parametrizes $k$ dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ which are isotropic with respect to a general (necessarily degenerate) symplectic form. The odd symplectic…

In this article, we make a close analysis on quantum multiplication operators on the quantum cohomology rings of Lagrangian and orthogonal Grassmannians, and give an explicit description on all simultaneous eigenvectors and the…

In this paper, we show that general homogeneous manifolds $G/P$ satisfy Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ of Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani which `underlies' Gamma conjectures I and II of them. Our main tools are the quantum Chevalley formula for…

We present a proof of a Littlewood-Richardson rule for the K-theory of odd orthogonal Grassmannians OG(n,2n+1), as conjectured in [Thomas-Yong '09]. Specifically, we prove that rectification using the jeu de taquin for increasing shifted…

Odd symplectic Grassmannians are a generalization of symplectic Grassmannians to odd-dimensional spaces. Here we compute the classical and quantum cohomology of the odd symplectic Grassmannian of lines. Although these varieties are non…

Gamma conjecture I and the underlying Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ for Fano manifolds were proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani recently. We show that both conjectures hold for all two-dimensional Fano manifolds. We prove Conjecture…

Let $H^\bullet(\mbox{OG})$ be the quantum cohomology (specialized at $q=1$) of the $2n-1$ dimensional quadric $\mbox{OG}$. We will calculate the characteristic polynomial of the linear operators induced by quantum multiplication in…

It is shown that the proof by Mehta and Parameswaran of Wahl's conjecture for Grassmannians in positive odd characteristics also works for symplectic and orthogonal Grassmannians.

We describe a curious structure of the special orthogonal, special unitary, and symplectic groups that has not been observed, namely, they can be expressed as matrix products of their corresponding Grassmannians realized as involution…

The Mukhin-Tarasov-Varchenko Theorem, conjectured by B. and M. Shapiro, has a number of interesting consequences. Among them is a well-behaved correspondence between certain points on a Grassmannian - those sent by the Wronski map to…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $d\geq 2$. A conjecture of Odoni (stated more generally for characteristic zero Hilbertian fields $K$) posits that there is a monic polynomial $f\in K[x]$ of degree $d$, and a point $x_0\in K$, such that…

Let $\mbox{IG}:=\mbox{IG}(2,2n+1)$ denote the odd symplectic Grassmannian of lines which is a horospherical variety of Picard rank 1. The quantum cohomology ring $\mbox{QH}^*(\mbox{IG})$ has negative structure constants. For $n \geq 3$, we…

In a recent paper, the author proved that if $n\geq 3$ is a natural number, $R$ a commutative ring and $\sigma\in GL_n(R)$, then $t_{kl}(\sigma_{ij})$ where $i\neq j$ and $k\neq l$ can be expressed as a product of $8$ matrices of the form…

Let $M$ be a Fano manifold, and $H^\star(M;\mathbb{C})$ be the quantum cohomology ring of $M$ with the quantum product $\star.$ For $\sigma \in H^*(M;\mathbb{C})$, denote by $[\sigma]$ the quantum multiplication operator $\sigma\star$ on…

We define the odd symplectic grassmannians and flag manifolds, which are smooth projective varieties equipped with an action of the odd symplectic group and generalizing the usual symplectic grassmannians and flag manifolds. Contrary to the…

We take the first step in the development of an equivariant version of modern, Gromov-style Oka theory. We define equivariant versions of the standard Oka property, ellipticity, and homotopy Runge property of complex manifolds, show that…

A linear group G<GL(n) acts on d-tuples of n x n matrices by simultaneous conjugation. In [Adv. Math. 19 (1976), 306-381] Procesi established generators and relations between them for G-invariants, where G is GL(n), O(n), and Sp(n) and the…
