We give a general conjecture concerning the existence of Eisenstein congruences between weight $k\geq 3$ newforms of square-free level $NM$ and weight $k$ new Eisenstein series of square-free level $N$. Our conjecture allows the forms to…

We prove Samuel's conjecture on certain Graham positivity of the expansion coefficient of two double Schubert polynomials in three sets of variables by establishing a refined version of Graham's positivity theorem. As a corollary, we prove…

Consider a smooth quasiprojective variety X equipped with a C*-action, and a regular function f: X -> C which is C*-equivariant with respect to a positive weight action on the base. We prove the purity of the mixed Hodge structure and the…

Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, and let X \subset G^\vee be the centralizer subgroup of a principal nilpotent element. Ginzburg and Peterson independently related the ring of functions on X with the homology…

We consider the conormal bundle of a Schubert variety $S_I$ in the cotangent bundle $T^* Gr$ of the Grassmannian $Gr$ of $k$-planes in $C^n$. This conormal bundle has a fundamental class ${\kappa_I}$ in the equivariant cohomology…

We give a combinatorial proof that the product of a Schubert polynomial by a Schur polynomial is a nonnegative sum of Schubert polynomials. Our proof uses Assaf's theory of dual equivalence to show that a quasisymmetric function of Bergeron…

Let $\bigwedge_1$ and $\bigwedge_2$ be two symmetric function algebras in independent sets of variables. We define vector space bases of $\bigwedge_1 \otimes_\mathbb{Z} \bigwedge_2$ coming from certain quivers, with vertex sets indexed by…

Pour tout $t\in\mN$ nous d\'efinissons un certain entier positif $\N_t$ et nous conjecturons: si $H$ est un fibr\'e de Gauss-Manin d'une fibration semi-stable alors la $t$-\`eme classe de Chern de $H$ est annul\'ee par $\N_t$. Nous…
