A triple intersection theorem for the varieties SO(n)/Pd
We study the Schubert calculus on the space of d-dimensional linear subspaces of a smooth n-dimensional quadric lying in the projective space. Following Hodge and Pedoe we develop the intersection theory of this space in a purely combinatorial manner. We prove in particular that if a triple intersection of Schubert cells on this space is nonempty then a certain combinatorial relation holds among the Schubert symbols involved, similar to the classical one. We also show when these necessary conditions...
