Permutation Representations on Schubert Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper defines and studies permutation representations on the equivariant cohomology of Schubert varieties, as representations both over C and over C[t1, t2, . . . , tn]. We show these group actions are the same as an action studied geometrically by M. Brion, and give topological meaning to the divided difference operators studied by Berstein-Gelfand-Gelfand, Demazure, Kostant-Kumar, and others. We analyze these representations using the combinatorial approach to equivariant cohomology introduced by GoreskyKottwitz-MacPherson. We find that each permutation representation on equivariant cohomology produces a representation on ordinary cohomology that is trivial, though the equivariant representation is not.

متن کاملIntersections of Schubert Varieties and Other Permutation Array Schemes
Using a blend of combinatorics and geometry, we give an algorithm for algebraically finding all flags in any zero-dimensional intersection of Schubert varieties with respect to three transverse flags, and more generally, any number of flags. In particular, the number of flags in a triple intersection is also a structure constant for the cohomology ring of the flag manifold. Our algorithm is bas...
متن کاملIdeals Defining Unions of Matrix Schubert Varieties
This note computes a Gröbner basis for the ideal defining a union of matrix Schubert varieties. Moreover, the theorem presented will work for any union of schemes defined by northwest rank conditions. This provides a means of intersecting a large class of determinantal ideals. Introduction We compute a Gröbner basis for the ideal defining a union of schemes defined by northwest rank conditions ...
متن کاملConsequences of the Lakshmibai-Sandhya Theorem: the ubiquity of permutation patterns in Schubert calculus and related geometry
In 1990, Lakshmibai and Sandhya published a characterization of singular Schubert varieties in flag manifolds using the notion of pattern avoidance. This was the first time pattern avoidance was used to characterize geometrical properties of Schubert varieties. Their results are very closely related to work of Haiman, Ryan and Wolper, but Lakshmibai-Sandhya were the first to use that language e...
متن کاملHessenberg Varieties Are Not Pure Dimensional
We study a family of subvarieties of the flag variety defined by certain linear conditions, called Hessenberg varieties. We compare them to Schubert varieties. We prove that some Schubert varieties can be realized as Hessenberg varieties and vice versa. Our proof explicitly identifies these Schubert varieties by their permutation and computes their dimension. We use this to answer an open quest...
