Quantum Cohomology Rings of Lagrangian and Orthogonal Grassmannians and Vafa-intriligator Type Formulas
نویسنده
چکیده
We verify in an elementary way a result of Peterson for the maximal orthogonal and Lagrangian Grassmannians, and then find Vafa-Intriligator type formulas which compute their 3point, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants. Additionally, we study total positivity of the related Peterson varieties and investigate its relationship with the positivity of Schubert basis elements.

Quantum Cohomology Rings of Lagrangian and Orthogonal Grassmannians and Total Positivity
We verify in an elementary way a result of Peterson for the maximal orthogonal and Lagrangian Grassmannians, and then find Vafa-Intriligator type formulas which compute their 3-point, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants. Finally we study the total positivity of the related Peterson’s varieties and show that Rietsch’s conjecture about the total positivity holds for these cases.
متن کاملQuantum Cohomology Rings of Fano Manifolds and a Formula of Vafa and Intriligator
Quantum multiplications on the cohomology of symplectic manifolds were first proposed by the physicist Vafa [Va2] based on Witten’s topological sigma models [Wi1]. In [RuTi], Ruan and the second named author gave a mathematical construction of quantum multiplications on cohomology groups of positive symplectic manifolds (cf. Chapter 1). The construction uses the Gromov-Ruan-Witten invariants (G...
متن کاملQuantum Cohomology of Orthogonal Grassmannians
Let V be a vector space with a nondegenerate symmetric form and OG be the orthogonal Grassmannian which parametrizes maximal isotropic subspaces in V . We give a presentation for the (small) quantum cohomology ring QH∗(OG) and show that its product structure is determined by the ring of P̃ -polynomials. A ‘quantum Schubert calculus’ is formulated, which includes quantum Pieri and Giambelli formu...
متن کاملS ep 2 00 6 VIRTUAL INTERSECTIONS ON THE QUOT SCHEME AND VAFA - INTRILIGATOR FORMULAS
We construct a virtual fundamental class on the Quot scheme parametrizing quotients of a trivial bundle on a smooth projective curve. We use the virtual localization formula to calculate virtual intersection numbers on Quot. As a consequence, we reprove the Vafa-Intriligator formula; our answer is valid even when the Quot scheme is badly behaved. More intersections of Vafa-Intriligator type are...
متن کاملQuantum 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...
