Schubert Polynomials for the Affine Grassmannian
نویسندگان
چکیده
Confirming a conjecture of Mark Shimozono, we identify polynomial representatives for the Schubert classes of the affine Grassmannian as the k-Schur functions in homology and affine Schur functions in cohomology. Our results rely on Kostant and Kumar’s nilHecke ring, work of Peterson on the homology of based loops on a compact group, and earlier work of ours on non-commutative k-Schur functions.

Schubert Polynomials for the Affine Grassmannian of the Symplectic Group
We study the Schubert calculus of the affine Grassmannian Gr of the symplectic group. The integral homology and cohomology rings of Gr are identified with dual Hopf algebras of symmetric functions, defined in terms of Schur’s P and Q functions. An explicit combinatorial description is obtained for the Schubert basis of the cohomology of Gr, and this is extended to a definition of the affine typ...
متن کاملK-theory Schubert calculus of the affine Grassmannian
We construct the Schubert basis of the torus-equivariant K-homology of the affine Grassmannian of a simple algebraic group G, using the K-theoretic NilHecke ring of Kostant and Kumar. This is the K-theoretic analogue of a construction of Peterson in equivariant homology. For the case where G= SLn, the K-homology of the affine Grassmannian is identified with a sub-Hopf algebra of the ring of sym...
متن کاملAffine Approach to Quantum Schubert Calculus
This paper 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 show that the coefficients in the expansion of these toric Schur polynomials, in terms of the regular Schur polynomials, are exactly the 3-point Gromov-Witten inv...
متن کاملQuantum Cohomology of G/p and Homology of Affine Grassmannian
Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, P ⊂ G a parabolic subgroup. We prove an unpublished result of D. Peterson which states that the quantum cohomology QH∗(G/P ) of a flag variety is, up to localization, a quotient of the homology H∗(GrG) of the affine Grassmannian GrG of G. As a consequence, all three-point genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of G/P are identified wi...
متن کاملAffine Stanley Symmetric Functions
We define a new family F̃w(X) of generating functions for w ∈ S̃n which are affine analogues of Stanley symmetric functions. We establish basic properties of these functions such as their symmetry and conjecture certain positivity properties. As an application, we relate these functions to the k-Schur functions of Lapointe, Lascoux and Morse as well as the cylindric Schur functions of Postnikov. ...
