Abstract:
The topics of Schubert varieties and the intersection theory of Schubert
calculus are at the crossroads of algebraic geometry, representation theory,
symplectic geometry and combinatorics. The goal of this workshop is to
introduce some of the themes of research in this subject through expository
lectures and discussion sessions, as well as through research talks. In
particular, we hope to facilitate interaction between mathematicians (including
graduate students) in Toronto and the southern Ontario area.
A series of expository lectures will focus on:
1. Schubert varieties
2. Smoothness of Schubert varieties
3. Positivity problems in Schubert calculus
4. Borel's theorem and Schubert polynomials
5. Equivariant cohomology of flag varieties
6. Quantum cohomology of flag varieties
7. K-theory of flag varieties
8. Intersection theory of degeneracy loci
There is no registration fee but those planning to attend are asked
to contact Alexander Yong at ayong@fields.utoronto.ca.
