We consider compact homogeneous spaces G/H of positive Euler characteristic endowed with an invariant almost complex structure J and the canonical action \theta of the maximal torus T ^{k} on G/H. We obtain explicit formula for the…
Consider a partial flag variety $X$ which is not a grassmaninan. Consider also its cohomology ring ${\rm H}^*(X,\ZZ)$ endowed with the base formed by the Poincar\'e dual classes of the Schubert varieties. In \cite{Richmond:recursion}, E.…
The Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) and motivic Chern (mC) classes of Schubert cells in a Grassmannian are one parameter deformations of the fundamental classes of the Schubert varieties in cohomology and K-theory respectively. Like the…
We develop numerical homotopy algorithms for solving systems of polynomial equations arising from the classical Schubert calculus. These homotopies are optimal in that generically no paths diverge. For problems defined by hypersurface…
We study a basis of the polynomial ring that we call forest polynomials. This family of polynomials is indexed by a combinatorial structure called indexed forests and permits several definitions, one of which involves flagged P-partitions.…
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 prove an identity for (torus-equivariant) 3-point, genus 0, $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of flag manifolds $G/P$, which can be thought of as a replacement for the ``divisor axiom'' in their (torus-equivariant) quantum…
We describe the torus-equivariant cohomology ring of isotropic Grassmannians by using a localization map to the torus fixed points. We present two types of formulas for equivariant Schubert classes of these homogeneous spaces. The first…
The problem of computing products of Schubert classes in the cohomology ring can be formulated as the problem of expanding skew Schur polynomials into the basis of ordinary Schur polynomials. In contrast, the problem of computing the…
A driving question in (quantum) cohomology of flag varieties is to find non-recursive, positive combinatorial formulas for expressing the product of two classes in a particularly nice basis, called the Schubert basis. Bertram,…
This article presents a formula for products of Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We introduce a generalization of Schur symmetric polynomials for shapes that are naturally embedded in a torus. Then we…
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…
In this paper, given a semisimple algebraic group $\bf G$ of rank 2, we construct a special semiorthogonal decomposition in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the flag variety ${\bf G}/{\bf B}$. These decompositions are defined…
We create several families of bases for the symmetric polynomials. From these bases we prove that certain Schur symmetric polynomials form a basis for quotients of symmetric polynomials that generalize the cohomology and the quantum…
Using a combinatorial approach which avoids geometry, this paper studies the ring structure of K_T(G/B), the T-equivariant K-theory of the (generalized) flag variety G/B. Here the data is a complex reductive algebraic group (or…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{\Theta }=G/P_{\Theta }$ be a generalized flag manifold, where $G$ is a real noncompact semi-simple Lie group and $P_{\Theta }$ a parabolic subgroup. A classical result says the Schubert cells, which are the closure of the…
It is shown that there is an order isomorphism $\phi'$ from the poset $V$ of $B\times B$-orbits on the wonderful compactification of a semi-simple adjoint group $G$ with Weyl group $W$ to an interval in reverse Chevalley-Bruhat order on a…
This paper works out the versions of the classical Giambelli and Pieri formulas in the context of quantum cohomology of a complex Grassmannian.
Following some work of Aluffi-Mihalcea-Sch\"{u}rmann-Su for the CSM classes of Schubert cells and some elaborate computer calculations by R. Rimanyi and L. Mihalcea, I conjecture that the CSM classes of the Richardson cells expressed in the…
Let (\Pi,\Sigma) be a Coxeter system. An ordered list of elements in \Sigma and an element in \Pi determine a {\em subword complex}, as introduced in our paper on Gr\"obner geometry of Schubert polynomials (math.AG/0110058). Subword…
