چکیده

generators. Our goal is to make this description more concrete. Note that G(k, n) = U(n)/(U(k)×U(n− k)) = St(k, n)/U(k) is the quotient by U(k) of the complex Stiefel manifold St(k, n) of partial orthonormal k-frames in C. Thus any finite-dimensional representation ρ : U(k) −→ GL(W ) of U(k) gives rise to the natural vector bundle St(k, n)×ρ W −→ G(k, n), where St(k, n) −→ G(k, n) is viewed as a principal U(k)bundle. This vector bundle, which we will denote by Φ(ρ), is most concretely visualized as a quotient by U(k) of the trivial U(k)-equivariant vector bundle St(k, n) ×W(ρ) −→ St(k, n). (Here (ρ) denotes the action of U(k) on W by ρ.) This trivial vector bundle is simply the pullback under the natural map St(k, n) −→ G(k, n) of Φ(ρ). It is an easy exercise to verify that given two representations ρ1, ρ2 of U(k), Φ(ρ1 ⊗ ρ2) = Φ(ρ1) ⊗ Φ(ρ2). Hence the map ρ 7→ Φ(ρ) gives a semiring homomorphism from representations of U(k) to vector bundles over G(k, n), which extends by universality to a ring homomorphism Φ : R(U(k)) ⊗ Q −→ K(G(k, n)) ⊗ Q

Enumeration of Conformers of Octahedral [M(ABC)_{6}] Complex on the Basis of Computational Group Theory

Conformers of [M(ABC)6] complex have been enumerated on the basis of computational group theory, where M is the central metal, and ABC is the ligand, bound to M through A. Based on the 16 conformers of the M(AB)6 core unit, 7173 conformers have been found for the [M(ABC)6] complex, which are assigned to nine point groups, 1 D3d, 4 D3, 4 S6, 5 C2h, 7 C3, 182 C2, 15 Cs, 23 Ci, and 6932 C1.

Puzzles in K-homology of Grassmannians

Knutson, Tao, and Woodward [KTW04] formulated a Littlewood–Richardson rule for the cohomology ring of Grassmannians in terms of puzzles. Vakil [Vak06] and Wheeler–Zinn-Justin [WZ16] have found additional triangular puzzle pieces that allow one to express structure constants for K-theory of Grassmannians. Here we introduce two other puzzle pieces of hexagonal shape, each of which gives a Littlew...

Pieri Rules for the K-theory of Cominuscule Grassmannians

We prove Pieri formulas for the multiplication with special Schubert classes in the K-theory of all cominuscule Grassmannians. For Grassmannians of type A this gives a new proof of a formula of Lenart. Our formula is new for Lagrangian Grassmannians, and for orthogonal Grassmannians it proves a special case of a conjectural Littlewood-Richardson rule of Thomas and Yong. Recent work of Thomas an...

Convolution algebras for Heckman-Opdam polynomials derived from compact Grassmannians

We study convolution algebras associated with Heckman–Opdam polynomials. For root systems of type BC we derive three continuous classes of positive convolution algebras (hypergroups) by interpolating the double coset convolution structures of compact Grassmannians U/K with fixed rank over the real, complex or quaternionic numbers. These convolution algebras are linked to explicit positive produ...

A Littlewood-richardson Rule for the K-theory of Grassmannians

We prove an explicit combinatorial formula for the structure constants of the Grothendieck ring of a Grassmann variety with respect to its basis of Schubert structure sheaves. We furthermore relate K-theory of Grassmannians to a bialgebra of stable Grothendieck polynomials, which is a K-theory parallel of the ring of symmetric functions.
