Kostant polynomials and the cohomology ring for G/B.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Schubert calculus for G/B can be completely determined by a certain matrix related to the Kostant polynomials introduced in section 5 of Bernstein, Gelfand, and Gelfand [Bernstein, I., Gelfand, I. & Gelfand, S. (1973) Russ. Math. Surv. 28, 1-26]. The polynomials are defined by vanishing properties on the orbit of a regular point under the action of the Weyl group. For each element w in the Weyl group the polynomials also have nonzero values on the orbit points corresponding to elements which are larger in the Bruhat order than w. The main theorem given here is an explicit formula for these values. The matrix of orbit values can be used to determine the cup product for the cohomology ring for G/B, using only linear algebra or as described by Lascoux and Schützenberger [Lascoux, A. & Schützenberger, M.-P. (1982) C. R. Seances Acad. Sci. Ser. A 294, 447-450]. Complete proofs of all the theorems will appear in a forthcoming paper.

Ring structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
متن کاملSchubert Classes of a Loop Group
The philosophy is that working in the topological category (with compact rather than algebraic groups) gives extra flexibility which simplifies the constructions. For example, homology factorization happens because the BottSamelson variety is topologically a direct product, even though algebraically it is a non-trivial fiber bundle. Bott and Samelson exploit this flexibility to construct the Po...
متن کاملCo-centralizing generalized derivations acting on multilinear polynomials in prime rings
Let $R$ be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from $2$, $U$ the Utumi quotient ring of $R$, $C$ $(=Z(U))$ the extended centroid of $R$. Let $0neq ain R$ and $f(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ a multilinear polynomial over $C$ which is noncentral valued on $R$. Suppose that $G$ and $H$ are two nonzero generalized derivations of $R$ such that $a(H(f(x))f(x)-f(x)G(f(x)))in ...
متن کاملSchubert Polynomials for the Affine Grassmannian
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.
متن کاملThe Cohomology of Weight Varieties
We describe the cohomology ring of the symplectic reductions by tori of coadjoint orbits, or weight varieties. Weight varieties arise from representation theory considerations, and are temed as such because they are the symplectic analogue of the T-isotypic components (weight spaces) of irreducible representations of G. Recently, Tolman and Weitsman expressed the (ordinary) cohomology ring for ...
