Let X be a symplectic or odd orthogonal Grassmannian parametrizing isotropic subspaces in a vector space equipped with a nondegenerate (skew) symmetric form. We prove a Giambelli formula which expresses an arbitrary Schubert class in…

In this note we give a simple, model-independent construction of Chern classes as natural transformations from differential complex K-theory to differential integral cohomology. We verify the expected behaviour of these Chern classes with…

The main result of this announcement is a formula for the tensor product of the class of a homogeneous line bundle with a Schubert class, expressed as a K(X)-linear combination of Schubert classes. We believe that this formula is the most…

In this {paper}, we consider holomorphic embeddings of $Gr(2,m)$ into $Gr(2,n)$. We study such embeddings by finding all possible total Chern classes of the pull-back of the universal bundles under these embeddings. Using the relations…

Let X be a Hermitian locally symmetric space. We prove that every Chern class of X has a canonical lift to the cohomology of the Baily- Borel-Satake compactification X* of X and that the resulting Chern numbers satisfy the Hirzebruch…

We give an algorithm to compute the integer cohomology groups of any real partial flag manifold, by computing the incidence coefficients of the Schubert cells. For even flag manifolds we determine the integer cohomology groups, by proving…

Let a=(p_1^{q_1}, ..., p_r^{q_r}) be a partition and a'=({p_1'}^{q_1'}, >..., {p_r'}^{q_r'}) be its conjugate. We will prove that if q_i, q_i > 1 for all i, then any irreducible subvariety X of Gr(m,n) whose homology class is an integral…

We give a formula in terms of Young diagrams to calculate the minimum positive integer $d$ such that $q^d$ appears in the quantum product of two Schubert classes for the submaximal isotropic Grassmannians in Types B and C. We do this by…

Quiver Grassmannians are projective varieties parametrizing subrepresentations of given dimension in a quiver representation. We define a class of quiver Grassmannians generalizing those which realize degenerate flag varieties. We show that…

Let X be the flag variety of the symplectic group. We propose a theory of combinatorially explicit Schubert polynomials which represent the Schubert classes in the Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of X. We use these polynomials to…

We prove a relative form of Verdier's specialization formula, and apply it to derive a Chern class identity predicted by string dualities.

This chapter combines an introduction and research survey about Schubert varieties. The theme is to combinatorially classify their singularities using a family of polynomial ideals generated by determinants.

These are extended notes of a talk given at Maurice Auslander Distinguished Lectures and International Conference (Woods Hole, MA) in April 2013. Their aim is to give an introduction into Schubert calculus on Grassmannians and flag…

We give a complete quiver description of the category of perverse sheaves on Hermitian symmetric spaces in types A and D, constructible with respect to the Schubert stratification. The calculation is microlocal, and uses the action of the…

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 present a simplification of Neumann's formula for the universal Cheeger-Chern-Simons class of the second Chern polynomial. Our approach is completely algebraic, and the final formula can be applied directly on a homology class in the bar…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be one of the ind-groups $GL(\infty)$, $O(\infty)$, $Sp(\infty)$ and $\mathbf{P}\subset \mathbf{G}$ be a splitting parabolic ind-subgroup. The ind-variety $\mathbf{G}/\mathbf{P}$ has been identified with an ind-variety of…

Traditional formulations of geometric problems from the Schubert calculus, either in Plucker coordinates or in local coordinates provided by Schubert cells, yield systems of polynomials that are typically far from complete intersections and…

We prove a recent conjecture of Kreiman and Lakshmibai about Hilbert functions of points on Schubert varieties in Grassmannians.

We show that general isotropic flags for odd-orthogonal and symplectic groups are general for Schubert calculus on the classical Grassmannian in that Schubert cells defined by such flags meet transversally. This strengthens a result of…
