AbstractMultiplicity-free algebraic geometry is the study of subvarieties Y ⊆ X with the “smallest invariants” as witnessed by a multiplicity-free Chow ring decomposition of [Y] ∈ A*(X) into a predetermined linear basis.This paper concerns the case of Richardson subvarieties of the Grassmannian in terms of the Schubert basis. We give a nonrecursive combinatorial classification of multiplicity-free Richardson varieties, i.e., we classify multiplicity-free products of Schubert classes. This answers a question of W. Fulton.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be positive integers such that [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be the Grassmannian which consists of the set of [Formula: see text]-dimensional subspaces of [Formula: see text]. There is a [Formula: see text]-graded algebra isomorphism between the cohomology [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and a natural [Formula: see text]-form [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]-graded basic algebra of the type [Formula: see text] cyclotomic nilHecke algebra [Formula: see text]. We show that the isomorphism can be chosen such that the image of each (geometrically defined) Schubert class [Formula: see text] coincides with the basis element [Formula: see text] constructed by Hu and Liang by purely algebraic method, where [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] for each [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-multipartition of [Formula: see text] associated to [Formula: see text]. A similar correspondence between the Schubert class basis of the cohomology of the Grassmannian [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]'s basis ([Formula: see text] is an [Formula: see text]-multipartition of [Formula: see text] with each component being either [Formula: see text] or empty) of the natural [Formula: see text]-form [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]-graded basic algebra of [Formula: see text] is also obtained. As an application, we obtain a second version of the Giambelli formula for Schubert classes.

AbstractWe use Young's raising operators to introduce and study double theta polynomials, which specialize to both the theta polynomials of Buch, Kresch, and Tamvakis, and to double (or factorial) Schur S-polynomials and Q-polynomials. These double theta polynomials give Giambelli formulas which represent the equivariant Schubert classes in the torus-equivariant cohomology ring of symplectic Grassmannians, and we employ them to obtain a new presentation of this ring in terms of intrinsic generators and relations.

We study the equivariant oriented cohomology ring $\mathtt{h}_{T}(G/P)$ of partial flag varieties using the moment map approach. We define the right Hecke action on this cohomology ring, and then prove that the respective Bott–Samelson classes in $\mathtt{h}_{T}(G/P)$ can be obtained by applying this action to the fundamental class of the identity point, hence generalizing previously known results of Chow groups by Brion, Knutson, Peterson, Tymoczko and others. Our main result concerns the equivariant oriented cohomology theory $\mathfrak{h}$ corresponding to the 2-parameter Todd genus. We give a new interpretation of Deodhar’s parabolic Kazhdan–Lusztig basis, i.e., we realize it as some cohomology classes (the parabolic Kazhdan–Lusztig (KL) Schubert classes) in $\mathfrak{h}_{T}(G/P)$. We make a positivity conjecture, and a conjecture about the relationship of such classes with smoothness of Schubert varieties. We also prove the latter in several special cases.

To each finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ (a diagram), one can associate a subvariety of a complex Grassmannian (a diagram variety), and a representation of a symmetric group (a Specht module). Liu has conjectured that the cohomology class of a diagram variety is represented by the Frobenius characteristic of the corresponding Specht module. We give a counterexample to this conjecture.However, we show that for the diagram variety of a permutation diagram, Liu's conjectured cohomology class $\sigma$ is at least an upper bound on the actual class $\tau$, in the sense that $\sigma - \tau$ is a nonnegative linear combination of Schubert classes. To do this, we exhibit the appropriate diagram variety as a component in a degeneration of one of Knutson's interval positroid varieties (up to Grassmann duality). A priori, the cohomology classes of these interval positroid varieties are represented by affine Stanley symmetric functions. We give a different formula for these classes as ordinary Stanley symmetric functions, one with the advantage of being Schur-positive and compatible with inclusions between Grassmannians.
