Finiteness of cominuscule quantum K -theory

Anders S. Buch, Pierre-Emmanuel Chaput, Leonardo C. Mihalcea, Nicolas Perrin (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The product of two Schubert classes in the quantum K -theory ring of a homogeneous space X = G / P is a formal power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic vector bundles on  X . We show that if X is cominuscule, then this power series has only finitely many non-zero terms. The proof is based on a geometric study of boundary Gromov-Witten varieties in the Kontsevich moduli space, consisting of stable maps to  X that take the marked points to general Schubert varieties and whose domains...

Improvement of Grauert-Riemenschneider's theorem for a normal surface

Jean Giraud (1982)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let X ˜ be a desingularization of a normal surface X . The group Pic ( X ˜ ) is provided with an order relation L _ 0 , defined by L . V 0 for any effective exceptional divisor V . Comparing to the usual order relation we define the ceiling of L which is an exceptional divisor. This notion allows us to improve the usual vanishing theorem and we deduce from it a numerical criterion for rationality and a genus formula for a curve on a normal surface; the difficulty lies in the case of a Weil divisor which is not a Cartier...
