Lower bounds in real Schubert calculus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a large-scale computational experiment studying structure in the numbers of real solutions to osculating instances of Schubert problems. This investigation uncovered Schubert problems whose computed numbers of real solutions variously exhibit nontrivial upper bounds, lower bounds, gaps, and a congruence modulo four. We present a family of Schubert problems, one in each Grassmannian, and prove that their real osculating instances have the observed lower bounds and gaps. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14N15, 14P99.

Some Lower Bounds in the B. and M. Shapiro Conjecture for Flag Varieties
The B. and M. Shapiro conjecture stated that all solutions of the Schubert Calculus problems associated with real points on the rational normal curve should be real. For Grassmannians, it was proved by Mukhin, Tarasov and Varchenko. For flag varieties, Sottile found a counterexample and suggested that all solutions should be real under certain monotonicity conditions. In this paper, we compute ...
متن کاملSome Real and Unreal Enumerative Geometry for Flag Manifolds
We present a general method for constructing real solutions to some problems in enumerative geometry which gives lower bounds on the maximum number of real solutions. We apply this method to show that two new classes of enumerative geometric problems on flag manifolds may have all their solutions be real and modify this method to show that another class may have no real solutions, which is a ne...
متن کاملExperimentation in the Schubert Calculus
Many aspects of Schubert calculus are easily modeled on a computer. This enables large-scale experimentation to investigate subtle and ill-understood phenomena in the Schubert calculus. A well-known web of conjectures and results in the real Schubert calculus has been inspired by this continuing experimentation. A similarly rich story concerning intrinsic structure, or Galois groups, of Schuber...
متن کاملRational Functions and Real Schubert Calculus
We single out some problems of Schubert calculus of subspaces of codimension 2 that have the property that all their solutions are real whenever the data are real. Our arguments explore the connection between subspaces of codimension 2 and rational functions of one variable.
متن کاملA Congruence modulo Four in Real Schubert Calculus
We establish a congruence modulo four in the real Schubert calculus on the Grassmannian of m-planes in 2m-space. This congruence holds for fibers of the Wronski map and a generalization to what we call symmetric Schubert problems. This strengthens the usual congruence modulo two for numbers of real solutions to geometric problems. It also gives examples of geometric problems given by fibers of ...
