-partitions and a multi-parameter Klyachko idempotent.
The set of conjugacy classes appearing in a product of conjugacy classes in a compact, -connected Lie group can be identified with a convex polytope in the Weyl alcove. In this paper we identify linear inequalities defining this polytope. Each inequality corresponds to a non-vanishing Gromov-Witten invariant for a generalized flag variety , where is the complexification of and is a maximal parabolic subgroup. This generalizes the results for of Agnihotri and the second author and Belkale on...
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 of certain...
Combining the approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of cone classes and positive polynomials for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials of stable singularities are nonnegative with positive sum.
We study Thom polynomials associated with Lagrange singularities. We expand them in the basis of Q̃-functions. This basis plays a key role in the Schubert calculus of isotropic Grassmannians. We prove that the Q̃-function expansions of the Thom polynomials of Lagrange singularities always have nonnegative coefficients. This is an analog of a result on the Thom polynomials of mapping singularities and Schur S-functions, established formerly by the last two authors.
Let be a field and . Let be a monomial ideal of and be monomials in . We prove that if form a filter-regular sequence on , then is pretty clean if and only if is pretty clean. Also, we show that if form a filter-regular sequence on , then Stanley’s conjecture is true for if and only if it is true for . Finally, we prove that if is a minimal set of generators for which form either a -sequence, proper sequence or strong -sequence (with respect to the reverse lexicographic...
