Pieri's formula for flag manifolds and Schubert polynomials

Frank Sottile (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We establish the formula for multiplication by the class of a special Schubert variety in the integral cohomology ring of the flag manifold. This formula also describes the multiplication of a Schubert polynomial by either an elementary or a complete symmetric polynomial. Thus, we generalize the classical Pieri’s formula for Schur polynomials (associated to Grassmann varieties) to Schubert polynomials (associated to flag manifolds). Our primary technique is an explicit geometric description...

Cohomology, symmetry and perfection.

Emili Bifet (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

We explain the philosophy behind the computations in [BDP] and place them in a wider conceptual setting. We also outline, for toric varieties, the resulting equivalent approach to some key results in that theory.

Weights in the cohomology of toric varieties

Andrzej Weber (2004)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We describe the weight filtration in the cohomology of toric varieties. We present a role of the Frobenius automorphism in an elementary way. We prove that equivariant intersection homology of an arbitrary toric variety is pure. We obtain results concerning Koszul duality: nonequivariant intersection cohomology is equal to the cohomology of the Koszul complexIH T*(X)⊗H*(T). We also describe the weight filtration inIH *(X).

Describing toric varieties and their equivariant cohomology

Matthias Franz (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact case and draw several, mostly cohomological conclusions. In particular, we show that the equivariant integral cohomology of a toric variety can be described in terms of piecewise polynomials on the fan if the ordinary integral cohomology is concentrated...

The cohomology ring of polygon spaces

Jean-Claude Hausmann, Allen Knutson (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We compute the integer cohomology rings of the “polygon spaces”introduced in [F. Kirwan, Cohomology rings of moduli spaces of vector bundles over Riemann surfaces, J. Amer. Math. Soc., 5 (1992), 853-906] and [M. Kapovich & J. Millson, the symplectic geometry of polygons in Euclidean space, J. of Diff. Geometry, 44 (1996), 479-513]. This is done by embedding them in certain toric varieties; the restriction map on cohomology is surjective and we calculate its kernel using ideas from...
