Positivity in Equivariant Schubert Calculus
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove a positivity property for the cup product in the T -equivariant cohomology of the flag variety. This was conjectured by D. Peterson and has as a consequence a conjecture of S. Billey. The result for the flag variety follows from a more general result about algebraic varieties with an action of a solvable linear algebraic group such that the unipotent radical acts with finitely many orbits. The methods are those used by S. Kumar and M. Nori.

متن کاملEquivariant Quantum Schubert Polynomials
We establish an equivariant quantum Giambelli formula for partial flag varieties. The answer is given in terms of a specialization of universal double Schubert polynomials. Along the way, we give new proofs of the presentation of the equivariant quantum cohomology ring, as well as Graham-positivity of the structure constants in equivariant quantum Schubert calculus.
متن کاملPositivity in Equivariant Quantum Schubert Calculus
A conjecture of D. Peterson, proved by W. Graham [Gr], states that the structure constants of the (T−)equivariant cohomology of a homogeneous space G/P satisfy a certain positivity property. In this paper we show that this positivity property holds in the more general situation of equivariant quantum cohomology.
متن کاملGeometric Positivity in the Cohomology of Homogeneous Spaces and Generalized Schubert Calculus
We describe recent work on positive descriptions of the structure constants of the cohomology of homogeneous spaces such as the Grassmannian, by degenerations and related methods. We give various extensions of these rules, some new and conjectural, to K-theory, equivariant cohomology, equivariant K-theory, and quantum cohomology.
