Pieri-type formulas for maximal isotropic Grassmannians via triple intersections

Frank Sottile (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give an elementary proof of the Pieri-type formula in the cohomology ring of a Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces of an orthogonal or symplectic vector space. This proof proceeds by explicitly computing a triple intersection of Schubert varieties. The multiplicities (which are powers of 2) in the Pieri-type formula are seen to arise from the intersection of a collection of quadrics with a linear space.

Proof of the Knop conjecture

Ivan V. Losev (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we prove the Knop conjecture asserting that two smooth affine spherical varieties with the same weight monoid are equivariantly isomorphic. We also state and prove a uniqueness property for (not necessarily smooth) affine spherical varieties.
