Abstract

We derive a Givental-type stationary phase integral representation for the specified \Grm,N\Gr_{m,N}-Whittaker function introduced in \cite{GLO2}, which presumably describes the S1×UNS^1\times U_N-equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of Grassmann variety \Grm,N\Gr_{m,N}. Our main tool is a generalization of Whittaker model for principal series \CU(glN)\CU(\frak{gl}_N)-modules. In particular, our construction includes a representation theory interpretation of the Batyrev--Ciocan-Fontanine--Kim--van Straten toric degeneration of Grassmannian, providing a direct connection between this toric degeneration of \Grm,N\Gr_{m,N} and total positivity for unipotent matrices.
