A new proof of Morley's theorem
We study the cohomology ring of the Grassmannian G of isotropic n-subspaces of a complex 2m-dimensional vector space, endowed with a nondegenerate orthogonal form (here 1 ≤ n < m). We state and prove a formula giving the Schubert class decomposition of the cohomology products in H*(G) of general Schubert classes by "special Schubert classes", i.e. the Chern classes of the dual of the tautological vector bundle of rank n on G. We discuss some related properties of reduced decompositions of "barred...
