متن کاملA unified formula for Steenrod operations in flag manifolds
The classical Schubert cells on a flag manifold G/H give a cell decomposition for G/H whose Kronecker duals (known as Schubert classes) form an additive base for the integral cohomology H(G/H). We present a formula that expresses Steenrod mod–p operations on Schubert classes in G/H in terms of Cartan numbers of G. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 55S10 (14M10, 1415).
متن کاملThe integral cohomology of a complete flag manifold G/T
Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T ⊂ G. We present the integral cohomology ring H∗(G/T ) by a minimal set of Schubert classes on G/T . This completes the program of determining the integral cohomology of all complete flag manifolds G/T in the context of Schubert calculus. The results have been applied in [DZ3] to construct the integral cohomology of a simple Lie group G in...
متن کاملSteenrod operations in the cohomology of exceptional Lie groups
Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T , and let Ap be the mod–p Steenrod algebra. Based on common properties in the Schubert presentation of the cohomology H∗(G/T ; Fp), we obtain a complete characterization for the Ap–algebra H ∗(G; Fp). 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 57T15; 14M15.

متن کاملThe Combinatorics of Steenrod Operations on the Cohomology of Grassmannians
The study of the action of the Steenrod algebra on the mod p cohomology of spaces has many applications to the topological structure of those spaces. In this paper we present combinatorial formulas for the action of Steenrod operations on the cohomology of Grassmannians, both in the Borel and the Schubert picture. We consider integral lifts of Steenrod operations, which lie in a certain Hopf al...
