Quantum cohomology of Grassmannians and affine algebras

چکیده

We discuss a new approach to the quantum cohomology ring of a Grassmannian. This ring is also isomorphic to the Verlinde algebra. We present a formula for the quantum product of Schubert classes (3-point GromovWitten invarints), or, equivalently, for the fusion product in sl(k). The main combinatorial tool is a cylindric analogue of Young tableux. The formula immediately implies several new identities and symmetries for the GromovWitten invariants of a Grassmannian.

Quantum cohomology of Grassmannians

The (small) quantum cohomology ring of a Grassmann variety encodes the enumerative geometry of rational curves in this variety. By using degeneracy loci formulas on quot schemes, Bertram has proved quantum Pieri and Giambelli formulas which give a complete description of the quantum cohomology ring. In this talk I will present elementary new proofs of these results which rely only on the defini...

The Minimal Degeneration Singularities in the Affine Grassmannians

The minimal degeneration singularities in the affine Grassmannians of simple simply-laced algebraic groups are determined to be either Kleinian singularities of type A, or closures of minimal orbits in nilpotent cones. The singularities for non-simply-laced types are studied by intersection cohomology and equivariant Chow group methods.

Realization of locally extended affine Lie algebras of type $A_1$

Locally extended affine Lie algebras were introduced by Morita and Yoshii in [J. Algebra 301(1) (2006), 59-81] as a natural generalization of extended affine Lie algebras. After that, various generalizations of these Lie algebras have been investigated by others. It is known that a locally extended affine Lie algebra can be recovered from its centerless core, i.e., the ideal generated by weight...

Affine Cohomology Classes for Filiform Lie Algebras

We classify the cohomology spaces H(g,K) for all filiform nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension n ≤ 11 over K and for certain classes of algebras of dimension n ≥ 12. The result is applied to the determination of affine cohomology classes [ω] ∈ H(g,K). We prove the general result that the existence of an affine cohomology class implies an affine structure of canonical type on g, hence a canonical...

Twisted Poisson duality for some quadratic Poisson algebras

We exhibit a Poisson module restoring a twisted Poincaré duality between Poisson homology and cohomology for the polynomial algebra R = C[X1, . . . , Xn] endowed with Poisson bracket arising from a uniparametrised quantum affine space. This Poisson module is obtained as the semiclassical limit of the dualising bimodule for Hochschild homology of the corresponding quantum affine space. As a coro...
