Schubert varieties in the full flag variety of Kac-Moody type are indexed by elements of the corresponding Weyl group. We give a practical criterion for when two such Schubert varieties (from potentially different flag varieties) are…

We give a complete description of the integral cohomology ring of the flag manifold E_8/T, where E_8 denotes the compact exceptional Lie group of rank 8 and T its maximal torus, by the method due to Borel and Toda. This completes the…

Motivated by the computation of the BPS-invariants on a local Calabi-Yau threefold suggested by S. Katz, we compute the Chow ring and the cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $4m+1$ on the projective…

We describe the integral cohomology rings of the flag manifolds of types B_n, D_n, G_2 and F_4 in terms of their Schubert classes. The main tool is the divided difference operators of Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand and Demazure. As an…

We introduce two new general methods to compute the Chow motives of twisted flag varieties and settle a 20-year-old conjecture of Markus Rost about the Rost invariant for groups of type E7.

We provide a general method for computing rational Chow rings of moduli of smooth complete intersections. We specialize this result in different ways: to compute the integral Picard group of the associated stack ; to obtain an explicit…

In this article, we investigate the toric Schubert varieties in partial flag varieties $G/P$ for a connected semisimple algebraic group $G$. Using Deodhar's decomposition of Richardson varieties and the work of Pasquier, we give an explicit…

In the present notes we generalize the classical work of Demazure [Invariants sym\'etriques entiers des groupes de Weyl et torsion] to arbitrary oriented cohomology theories and formal group laws. Let G be a split semisemiple linear…

We construct Euler and Stiefel-Whitney classes of vector bundles with quadratic form by analyzing the intersection theory of the associated quadric bundles. We also compute the Chow rings of quadric and isotropic flag bundles. Along the…

This paper is concerned with the study of spaces of naturally defined cycles associated to SL(n,R)-flag domains. These are compact complex submanifolds in open orbits of real semisimple Lie groups in flag domains of their complexification.…

We describe the torus-equivariant cohomology of weighted partial flag orbifolds ${\mathrm{w}}\Sigma$ of type $A$. We establish counterparts of several results known for the partial flag variety that collectively constitute what we refer to…

We compute the topological Witt groups of every complex flag manifold of ordinary type, and thus the interesting (i.e. torsion) part of the KO-groups of these manifolds. Equivalently, we compute Balmer's Witt groups of each flag variety of…

We compute the Chow rings with integral coefficients of moduli stacks of minimal Weierstrass fibrations over the projective line. For each integer $N\geq 1$, there is a moduli stack $\mathcal{W}^{\mathrm{min}}_N$ parametrizing minimal…

In this article we investigate the shellability of the flag simplicial complexes attached to non-simple and thin polyominoes. As a consequence, we obtain the Cohen-Macaulayness and a combinatorial interepetation of the $h$-polynomial of the…

We obtain two combinatorial results: an equality of Weyl groups and an inequality of roots, in the setting of generalised Bott-Samelson resolutions of minuscule Schubert varieties. These results are used in the companion paper [BK19] to…

We study the $K$-ring of the wonderful variety of a hyperplane arrangement and give a combinatorial presentation that depends only on the underlying matroid. We use this combinatorial presentation to define the $K$-ring of an arbitrary…

Introduced in [BB], simplicially stable spaces are alternative compactifications of $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ generalizing Hassett's moduli spaces of weighted stable curves. We give presentations of the Chow rings of these spaces in genus $0$…

In this paper, we study the subvarieties of a complex flag variety that are invariant under the action of a maximal torus. Using combinatorial techniques derived from matroid theory, we introduce a decomposition of this variety into affine,…

We develop a theory of abstract arithmetic Chow rings where the role of the fibers at infinity is played by a complex of abelian groups that computes a suitable cohomology theory. This theory allows the construction of many variants of the…

In this paper, we investigate the question of triviality of the rational Chow groups of complete intersections in projective spaces and obtain improved bounds for this triviality to hold. Along the way, we study the dimension and…
