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.

International audience In this paper we give an alternate combinatorial description of the "$(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions''. Our main theorem is the equivalence of our combinatoric and the one introduced by James and Mathas ($\textit{A q-analogue of the Jantzen-Schaper theorem}$). The condition of being an $(\ell,0)$-Carter partition is fundamentally related to the hook lengths of the partition. The representation-theoretic significance of their combinatoric on an $\ell$-regular partition is that it indicates the irreducibility of the corresponding Specht module over the finite Hecke algebra. We use our result to find a generating series which counts the number of such partitions, with respect to the statistic of a partition's first part. We then apply our description of these partitions to the crystal graph $B(\Lambda_0)$ of the basic representation of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_{\ell}}$, whose nodes are labeled by $\ell$-regular partitions. Here we give a fairly simple crystal-theoretic rule which generates all $(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions in the graph of $B(\Lambda_0)$. Dans cet article, nous donnons une description combinatoire alternative des partitions "$(\ell,0)$-Carter". Notre théorème principal est une équivalence entre notre combinatoire et celle introduite par James et Mathas ($\textit{A q-analogue of the Jantzen-Schaper theorem}$). La propriété $(\ell,0)$-Carter est fondamentalement liée aux longueurs des équerres de la partition. En terme de théorie des représentations, leur combinatoire pour une partition $\ell$-régulière permet de déterminer l'irréducibilité du module de Specht spécialisé sur l’algèbre de Hecke finie. Nous utilisons notre résultat pour déterminer leur série génératrice en fonction de la taille de la première part. Nous utilisons ensuite notre description de ces partitions au graphe cristallin $B(\Lambda _0)$ de la représentation basique de $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_{\ell}}$, dont les nœuds sont étiquetés par les partitions $\ell$-régulières. Nous donnons une règle cristalline relativement simple permettant d'engendrer toutes les partitions $\ell$-régulières $(\ell,0)$-Carter dans le graphe de $B(\Lambda _0)$.

Abstract We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees bounded by a fixed constant d. We prove that if a Specht module, $\mathbb{S}^{\lambda }$, appears with positive multiplicity in the isotypic decomposition of the cohomology modules of such sets, then the rank of the partition $\lambda$ is bounded by O(d). This implies a polynomial (in the dimension of the ambient space) bound on the number of such modules. Furthermore, we prove a polynomial bound on the multiplicities of those that do appear with positive multiplicity in the isotypic decomposition of the abovementioned cohomology modules. We give some applications of our methods in proving lower bounds on the degrees of defining polynomials of certain symmetric semi-algebraic sets, as well as improved bounds on the Betti numbers of the images under projections of (not necessarily symmetric) bounded real algebraic sets, improving in certain situations prior results of Gabrielov, Vorobjov, and Zell.

In this paper we give an alternate combinatorial description of the "$(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions". The representation-theoretic significance of these partitions is that they indicate the irreducibility of the corresponding specialized Specht module over the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. Our main theorem is the equivalence of our combinatoric and the one introduced by James and Mathas, which is in terms of hook lengths. We use our result to find a generating series which counts such partitions, with respect to the statistic of a partition's first part. We then apply our description of these partitions to the crystal graph $B(\Lambda_0)$ of the basic representation of $\widehat{{sl}_{\ell}}$, whose nodes are labeled by $\ell$-regular partitions. Here we give a fairly simple crystal-theoretic rule which generates all $(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions in the graph $B(\Lambda_0)$.

Vazirani and the author [Electron. J. Combin., 15 (1) (2008), R130] gave a new interpretation of what we called $\ell$-partitions, also known as $(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions. The primary interpretation of such a partition $\lambda$ is that it corresponds to a Specht module $S^{\lambda}$ which remains irreducible over the finite Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$ when $q$ is specialized to a primitive $\ell^{th}$ root of unity. To accomplish this we relied heavily on the description of such a partition in terms of its hook lengths, a condition provided by James and Mathas. In this paper, I use a new description of the crystal $reg_\ell$ which helps extend previous results to all $(\ell,0)$-JM partitions (similar to $(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions, but not necessarily $\ell$-regular), by using an analogous condition for hook lengths which was proven by work of Lyle and Fayers.
