K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of a compact Kahler manifold $X$ are defined as super-dimensions of sheaf cohomology of interesting bundles over moduli spaces of n-pointed holomorphic curves in X. With this article, we begin a series…
We study the Demazure-Lusztig operators induced by the left multiplication on partial flag manifolds $G/P$. We prove that they generate the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes of Schubert cells (in equivariant cohomology), respectively their…
In this paper, we prove the quantum Serre duality for genus-zero K-theoretic permutation-invariant Gromov-Witten theory. The formulation of the theorem relies on an extension to the formalism of loop spaces and big $\mathcal{J}$-functions…
We give a formula for the smallest powers of the quantum parameters q that occur in a product of Schubert classes in the (small) quantum cohomology of general flag varieties G/P. We also include a complete proof of Peterson's quantum…
We investigate the phenomenon known as ``quantum equals affine'' in the setting of $T$-equivariant quantum $K$-theory of the flag variety $G/B$, as established by Kato for any semisimple algebraic group $G$. In particular, we focus on the…
We state a precise conjectural isomorphism between localizations of the equivariant quantum K-theory ring of a flag variety and the equivariant K-homology ring of the affine Grassmannian, in particular relating their Schubert bases and…
Let $G/P$ be a generalized flag variety, where $G$ is a complex semisimple connected Lie group and $P\subset G$ a parabolic subgroup. Let also $X\subset G/P$ be a Schubert variety. We consider the canonical embedding of $X$ into a…
We prove a `Whitney' presentation, and a `Coulomb branch' presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation…
We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated to the foliation structure of a quantum flag manifold. We use these to construct $SL_q(3,\mathbb{C})$-equivariant Fredholm modules for the full quantum flag manifold $X_q = SU_q(3)/T$ of $SU_q(3)$,…
The (small) quantum cohomology ring of a flag manifold F encodes enumerative geometry of rational curves on F. We give a proof of the presentation of the ring and of a quantum Giambelli formula, which is more direct and geometric than the…
We prove the conjectures of Graham-Kumar and Griffeth-Ram concerning the alternation of signs in the structure constants for torus-equivariant K-theory of generalized flag varieties G/P. These results are immediate consequences of an…
Let $ G $ be a connected reductive algebraic group and its symmetric subgroup $ K $. The variety $ \dblFV = K/Q \times G/P $ is called a double flag variety, where $ Q $ and $ P $ are parabolic subgroups of $ K $ and $ G $ respectively. In…
We prove an identity relating the product of two opposite Schubert varieties in the (equivariant) quantum K-theory ring of a cominuscule flag variety to the minimal degree of a rational curve connecting the Schubert varieties. We deduce…
We show that for any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space X, the Gromov-Witten varieties of degree d curves passing through three general points of X are rational or empty for any d. Applying techniques of A. Buch and L. Mihalcea to…
We consider the manifold $Fl_n(\mathbb{H})=Sp(n)/Sp(1)^n$ of all complete flags in $\mathbb{H}^n$, where $\mathbb{H}$ is the skew-field of quaternions. We study its equivariant $K$-theory rings with respect to the action of two groups:…
We describe an attempt to make quantum K-theory (of stable maps) more amenable to the self-duality/rigidity arguments of arXiv:1512.07363 in quasimap theory, by twisting the virtual structure sheaf. For $\mathbb{P}^n$ this twist produces…
Explicit combinatorial cancellation-free rules are given for the product of an equivariant line bundle class with a Schubert class in the torus-equivariant K-theory of a Kac-Moody flag manifold. The weight of the line bundle may be dominant…
We give a purely geometric explanation of the coincidence between the Coulomb Branch equations for the 3D GLSM describing the quantum $K$-theory of a flag variety, and the Bethe Ansatz equations of the 5-vertex lattice model. In doing so,…
In the example of complex grassmannians, we demonstrate various techniques available for computing genus-0 K-theoretic GW-invariants of flag manifolds and more general quiver varieties. In particular, we address explicit reconstruction of…
