RESIDUES FORMULAS FOR THE PUSH-FORWARD IN K-THEORY, THE CASE OF G2=P . ANDRZEJ WEBER AND MAGDALENA ZIELENKIEWICZ Abstract. We study residue formulas for push-forward in the equivariant K-theory of homogeneous spaces. For the classical Grassmannian the residue formula can be obtained from the cohomological formula by a substitution. We also give another proof using sym- plectic reduction and the method involving the localization theorem of Jeffrey–Kirwan. We review formulas for other classical groups, and we derive them from the formulas for the classical Grassmannian. Next we consider the homogeneous spaces for the exceptional group G2. One of them, G2=P2 corresponding to the shorter root, embeds in the Grass- mannian Gr(2; 7). We find its fundamental class in the equivariant K-theory KT(Gr(2; 7)). This allows to derive a residue formula for the push-forward. It has significantly different character comparing to the classical groups case. The factor involving the fundamen- tal class of G2=P2 depends on the equivariant variables. To perform computations more efficiently we apply the basis of K-theory consisting of Grothendieck polynomials. The residue formula for push-forward remains valid for the homogeneous space G2=B as well. 1. Introduction ∗ r Suppose an algebraic torus T = (C ) acts on a complex variety X which is smooth and complete. Let E be an equivariant complex vector bundle over X. Then E defines an element of the equivariant K-theory of X. In our setting there is no difference whether one considers the algebraic K-theory or the topological one. -
Filtering Grassmannian Cohomology Via K-Schur Functions
FILTERING GRASSMANNIAN COHOMOLOGY VIA K-SCHUR FUNCTIONS THE 2020 POLYMATH JR. \Q-B-AND-G" GROUPy Abstract. This paper is concerned with studying the Hilbert Series of the subalgebras of the cohomology rings of the complex Grassmannians and La- grangian Grassmannians. We build upon a previous conjecture by Reiner and Tudose for the complex Grassmannian and present an analogous conjecture for the Lagrangian Grassmannian. Additionally, we summarize several poten- tial approaches involving Gr¨obnerbases, homological algebra, and algebraic topology. Then we give a new interpretation to the conjectural expression for the complex Grassmannian by utilizing k-conjugation. This leads to two conjectural bases that would imply the original conjecture for the Grassman- nian. Finally, we comment on how this new approach foreshadows the possible existence of analogous k-Schur functions in other Lie types. Contents 1. Introduction2 2. Conjectures3 2.1.

§4 Grassmannians 73
§4 Grassmannians 4.1 Plücker quadric and Gr(2,4). Let 푉 be 4-dimensional vector space. e set of all 2-di- mensional vector subspaces 푈 ⊂ 푉 is called the grassmannian Gr(2, 4) = Gr(2, 푉). More geomet- rically, the grassmannian Gr(2, 푉) is the set of all lines ℓ ⊂ ℙ = ℙ(푉). Sending 2-dimensional vector subspace 푈 ⊂ 푉 to 1-dimensional subspace 훬푈 ⊂ 훬푉 or, equivalently, sending a line (푎푏) ⊂ ℙ(푉) to 한 ⋅ 푎 ∧ 푏 ⊂ 훬푉 , we get the Plücker embedding 픲 ∶ Gr(2, 4) ↪ ℙ = ℙ(훬 푉). (4-1) Its image consists of all decomposable¹ grassmannian quadratic forms 휔 = 푎∧푏 , 푎, 푏 ∈ 푉. Clearly, any such a form has zero square: 휔 ∧ 휔 = 푎 ∧ 푏 ∧ 푎 ∧ 푏 = 0. Since an arbitrary form 휉 ∈ 훬푉 can be wrien¹ in appropriate basis of 푉 either as 푒 ∧ 푒 or as 푒 ∧ 푒 + 푒 ∧ 푒 and in the laer case 휉 is not decomposable, because of 휉 ∧ 휉 = 2 푒 ∧ 푒 ∧ 푒 ∧ 푒 ≠ 0, we conclude that 휔 ∈ 훬 푉 is decomposable if an only if 휔 ∧ 휔 = 0. us, the image of (4-1) is the Plücker quadric 푃 ≝ { 휔 ∈ 훬푉 | 휔 ∧ 휔 = 0 } (4-2) If we choose a basis 푒, 푒, 푒, 푒 ∈ 푉, the monomial basis 푒 = 푒 ∧ 푒 in 훬 푉, and write 푥 for the homogeneous coordinates along 푒, then straightforward computation 푥 ⋅ 푒 ∧ 푒 ∧ 푥 ⋅ 푒 ∧ 푒 = 2 푥 푥 − 푥 푥 + 푥 푥 ⋅ 푒 ∧ 푒 ∧ 푒 ∧ 푒 < < implies that 푃 is given by the non-degenerated quadratic equation 푥푥 = 푥푥 + 푥푥 . -
8. Grassmannians
66 Andreas Gathmann 8. Grassmannians After having introduced (projective) varieties — the main objects of study in algebraic geometry — let us now take a break in our discussion of the general theory to construct an interesting and useful class of examples of projective varieties. The idea behind this construction is simple: since the definition of projective spaces as the sets of 1-dimensional linear subspaces of Kn turned out to be a very useful concept, let us now generalize this and consider instead the sets of k-dimensional linear subspaces of Kn for an arbitrary k = 0;:::;n. Definition 8.1 (Grassmannians). Let n 2 N>0, and let k 2 N with 0 ≤ k ≤ n. We denote by G(k;n) the set of all k-dimensional linear subspaces of Kn. It is called the Grassmannian of k-planes in Kn. Remark 8.2. By Example 6.12 (b) and Exercise 6.32 (a), the correspondence of Remark 6.17 shows that k-dimensional linear subspaces of Kn are in natural one-to-one correspondence with (k − 1)- n− dimensional linear subspaces of P 1. We can therefore consider G(k;n) alternatively as the set of such projective linear subspaces. As the dimensions k and n are reduced by 1 in this way, our Grassmannian G(k;n) of Definition 8.1 is sometimes written in the literature as G(k − 1;n − 1) instead. Of course, as in the case of projective spaces our goal must again be to make the Grassmannian G(k;n) into a variety — in fact, we will see that it is even a projective variety in a natural way. -
Complex Cobordism and Almost Complex Fillings of Contact Manifolds
MSci Project in Mathematics COMPLEX COBORDISM AND ALMOST COMPLEX FILLINGS OF CONTACT MANIFOLDS November 2, 2016 Naomi L. Kraushar supervised by Dr C Wendl University College London Abstract An important problem in contact and symplectic topology is the question of which contact manifolds are symplectically fillable, in other words, which contact manifolds are the boundaries of symplectic manifolds, such that the symplectic structure is consistent, in some sense, with the given contact struc- ture on the boundary. The homotopy data on the tangent bundles involved in this question is finding an almost complex filling of almost contact manifolds. It is known that such fillings exist, so that there are no obstructions on the tangent bundles to the existence of symplectic fillings of contact manifolds; however, so far a formal proof of this fact has not been written down. In this paper, we prove this statement. We use cobordism theory to deal with the stable part of the homotopy obstruction, and then use obstruction theory, and a variant on surgery theory known as contact surgery, to deal with the unstable part of the obstruction.

Grassmannians Via Projection Operators and Some of Their Special Submanifolds ∗
GRASSMANNIANS VIA PROJECTION OPERATORS AND SOME OF THEIR SPECIAL SUBMANIFOLDS ∗ IVKO DIMITRIC´ Department of Mathematics, Penn State University Fayette, Uniontown, PA 15401-0519, USA E-mail: [email protected] We study submanifolds of a general Grassmann manifold which are of 1-type in a suitably defined Euclidean space of F−Hermitian matrices (such a submanifold is minimal in some hypersphere of that space and, apart from a translation, the im- mersion is built using eigenfunctions from a single eigenspace of the Laplacian). We show that a minimal 1-type hypersurface of a Grassmannian is mass-symmetric and has the type-eigenvalue which is a specific number in each dimension. We derive some conditions on the mean curvature of a 1-type hypersurface of a Grassmannian and show that such a hypersurface with a nonzero constant mean curvature has at most three constant principal curvatures. At the end, we give some estimates of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact submanifold of a Grassmannian. 1. Introduction The Grassmann manifold of k dimensional subspaces of the vector space − Fm over a field F R, C, H can be conveniently defined as the base man- ∈{ } ifold of the principal fibre bundle of the corresponding Stiefel manifold of F unitary frames, where a frame is projected onto the F plane spanned − − by it. As observed already in 1927 by Cartan, all Grassmannians are sym- metric spaces and they have been studied in such context ever since, using the root systems and the Lie algebra techniques. However, the submani- fold geometry in Grassmannians of higher rank is much less developed than the corresponding geometry in rank-1 symmetric spaces, the notable excep- tions being the classification of the maximal totally geodesic submanifolds (the well known results of J.A. -
WEIGHT FILTRATIONS in ALGEBRAIC K-THEORY Daniel R
November 13, 1992 WEIGHT FILTRATIONS IN ALGEBRAIC K-THEORY Daniel R. Grayson University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Abstract. We survey briefly some of the K-theoretic background related to the theory of mixed motives and motivic cohomology. 1. Introduction. The recent search for a motivic cohomology theory for varieties, described elsewhere in this volume, has been largely guided by certain aspects of the higher algebraic K-theory developed by Quillen in 1972. It is the purpose of this article to explain the sense in which the previous statement is true, and to explain how it is thought that the motivic cohomology groups with rational coefficients arise from K-theory through the intervention of the Adams operations. We give a basic description of algebraic K-theory and explain how Quillen’s idea [42] that the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence of topology may have an algebraic analogue guides the search for motivic cohomology. There are other useful survey articles about algebraic K-theory: [50], [46], [23], [56], and [40]. I thank W. Dwyer, E. Friedlander, S. Lichtenbaum, R. McCarthy, S. Mitchell, C. Soul´e and R. Thomason for frequent and useful consultations. 2. Constructing topological spaces. In this section we explain the considerations from combinatorial topology which give rise to the higher algebraic K-groups. The first principle is simple enough to state, but hard to implement: when given an interesting group (such as the Grothendieck group of a ring) arising from some algebraic situation, try to realize it as a low-dimensional homotopy group (especially π0 or π1) of a space X constructed in some combinatorial way from the same algebraic inputs, and study the homotopy type of the resulting space. -

Introduction 1.1. Let G be an almost simple complex algebraic group, and let GrG be its affine Grassmannian. Recall that if we set O = C[[t]], F = C((t)), then GrG = G(F)/G(O). It is well-known that the subgroup ΩK of polynomial loops into a maximal compact subgroup K G projects isomorphically to GrG; thus GrG acquires the structure of a topological⊂ group. An algebro-geometric counterpart of this structure is provided by the convolution diagram G(F) O Gr Gr . ×G( ) G → G It allows one to define the convolution of two G(O) equivariant geometric objects (such as sheaves, or constrictible functions) on GrG.
