Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $T$ be its maximal torus. The homogeneous space $G/T$ is called the (complete) flag manifold. One of the main goals of the {\em equivariant Schubert calculus} is to study the $T$-equivariant…

Let G be a simply connected compact Lie group and T its maximal torus. We compute the graded ring gr_{gamma}(G/T) associated with the gamma filtration of the complex K-theory K(G/T). We use the Chow ring of the corresponding versal flag…

We compute the coherent cohomology of the structure sheaf of complex periplectic Grassmannians. In particular, we show that it can be decomposed as a tensor product of the singular cohomology ring of a Grassmannian for either the symplectic…

We introduce a new class of graded rings extending the class of generalized Weyl algebras. These rings are orders in crossed products of the most general type, and we introduce their basic structure theory. We provide an extensive list of…

We calculate equivariant elliptic cohomology of the partial flag variety G/H, where H \subseteq G are compact connected Lie groups of equal rank. We identify the RO(G)-graded coefficients Ell_G^* as powers of Looijenga's line bundle and…

We study a graded algebra D=D(L,G) defined by a finite lattice L and a subset G in L, a so-called building set. This algebra is a generalization of the cohomology algebras of hyperplane arrangement compactifications found in work of De…

Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group and B a Borel subgroup of G. We consider a subgroup H of B acting with finitely many orbits on the flag variety G/B, and we classify the H-orbits in G/B in terms of suitable…

A flag variety is a homogenous variety $G/B$ where $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the complex numbers and $B$ is a Boel subgroup of $G$. A Schubert variety $X_w$ is a subvariety of $G/B$ indexed by an element $w$ in the Weyl group 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…

We compute the cohomology of modules over the algebra of twisted chiral differential operators over the flag manifold. This is applied to (1) finding the character of $G$-integrable irreducible highest weight modules over the affine Lie…

In this article, the comodule structure of Chow rings of Flag manifolds $\operatorname{CH}(G/B)$ is described by Schubert cells. Its equivariant version gives rise to a Hopf structure of the equivariant cohomology of flag manifolds…

Forgetting a subspace from a partial flag yields another partial flag composed of fewer subspaces. This induces a forgetful map $\pi : X \to X'$ between the corresponding flag varieties. We prove here that, for a degree large enough, the…
