We prove that the Schubert structure constants of the quantum $K$-theory ring of any minuscule flag variety or quadric hypersurface have signs that alternate with codimension. We also prove that the powers of the deformation parameter $q$…

An important breakthrough in understanding the geometry of Schubert varieties was the introduction of the notion of Frobenius split varieties and the result that the flag varieties G/P are Frobenius split. The aim of this article is to give…

We survey three settings in which dimensions of intersection cohomology groups of algebraic varieties provide deep combinatorial and representation-theoretic information, and computations of the groups themselves have been made using…

We prove a combinatorial rule for a complete decomposition, in terms of Langlands parameters, for representations of p-adic $GL_n$ that appear as parabolic induction from a large family (ladder representations). Our rule obviates the need…

We consider tangent cones of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, and investigate the problem when the tangent cones of two different Schubert varieties coincide. We give a sufficient condition for such coincidence, and…

Let V be a 2n-dimensional complex symplectic space. Let G' be the Lagrangian Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces of V embedded via the inclusion i into the Grassmannian G of all n-dimensional subspaces of V. We discuss the…

Spielberg's construction of C*-algebras from left cancellative small categories is a common generalization for most C*-algebras one would consider to come from ``combinatorial data,'' including graph and $k$-graph C*-algebras, Li's…

This paper aims to focus on Richardson varieties on symplectic groups, especially their combinatorial characterization and defining equations. Schubert varieties and opposite Schubert varieties have profound significance in the study of…

We prove that Schubert and Richardson varieties in flag manifolds are uniquely determined by their equivariant cohomology classes, as well as a stronger result that replaces Schubert varieties with closures of Bialynicki-Birula cells under…

Let G be a simply-connected simple compact Lie group over the complex numbers. The affine Grassmannian is a projective ind-variety, homotopy-equivalent to the loop space of G and closely analogous to a maximal flag variety of the classical…

We give a new construction of the Bott-Samelson variety $Z$ as the closure of a $B$-orbit in a product of flag varieties $(G/B)^l$. This also gives an embedding of the projective coordinate ring of the variety into the function ring of a…

We extend to singular cardinals the model-theoretical relation $\lambda \stackrel{\kappa}{\Rightarrow} \mu$ introduced in P. Lipparini, The compactness spectrum of abstract logics, large cardinals and combinatorial principles, Boll. Unione…

We describe the effect of Feigin's flat degeneration of the type $\textrm{A}$ flag variety on its Schubert varieties. In particular, we study when they stay irreducible and in several cases we are able to encode reducibility of the…

The variety of complete quadrics is the wonderful compactification of $GL_n/O_n$ and admits a cell decomposition into Borel orbits indexed by combinatorial objects called $\mu$-involutions. We study Coxeter-theoretic properties of…

We establish a combinatorial connection between the real geometry and the $K$-theory of complex Schubert curves $S(\lambda_\bullet)$, which are one-dimensional Schubert problems defined with respect to flags osculating the rational normal…

We prove that certain asymptotically flat initial data sets with nontrivial topology and/or differentiable structure collapse to form singularities. The class of such initial data sets is characterized by a new smooth invariant, the maximal…

We study the relationship between two notions of pattern avoidance for involutions in the symmetric group and their restriction to fixed-point-free involutions. The first is classical, while the second appears in the geometry of certain…

The puzzle rules for computing Schubert calculus on $d$-step flag manifolds, proven in [Knutson Tao 2003] for $1$-step, in [Buch Kresch Purbhoo Tamvakis 2016] for $2$-step, and conjectured in [Coskun Vakil 2009] for $3$-step, lead to vector…

We answer some questions related to multiplicity formulas by Rosenthal and Zelevinsky and by Lakshmibai and Weyman for points on Schubert varieties in Grassmannians. In particular, we give combinatorial interpretations in terms of…

To each finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ (a diagram), one can associate a subvariety of a complex Grassmannian (a diagram variety), and a representation of a symmetric group (a Specht module). Liu has conjectured that the cohomology class of…
