We introduce generalized Demazure operators for the equivariant oriented cohomology of the flag variety, which have specializations to various Demazure operators and Demazure–Lusztig operators in both equivariant cohomology and equivariant K-theory. In the context of the geometric basis of the equivariant oriented cohomology given by certain Bott–Samelson classes, we use these operators to obtain formulas for the structure constants arising in different bases. Specializing to divided difference operators and Demazure operators in singular cohomology and K-theory, we recover the formulas for structure constants of Schubert classes obtained in Goldin and Knutson (Pure Appl Math Q 17(4):1345–1385, 2021). Two specific specializations result in formulas for the the structure constants for cohomological and K-theoretic stable bases as well; as a corollary we reproduce a formula for the structure constants of the Segre–Schwartz–MacPherson basis previously obtained by Su (Math Zeitschrift 298:193–213, 2021). Our methods involve the study of the formal affine Demazure algebra, providing a purely algebraic proof of these results.

Integral equivariant cohomology of affine Grassmannians
Abstract We give explicit presentations of the integral equivariant cohomology of the affine Grassmannians and flag varieties in type A, arising from their natural embeddings in the corresponding infinite (Sato) Grassmannian and flag variety. These presentations are compared with results obtained by Lam and Shimozono, for rational equivariant cohomology of the affine Grassmannian, and by Larson, for the integral cohomology of the moduli stack of vector bundles on.

Abstract We study Schubert polynomials using geometry of infinite-dimensional flag varieties and degeneracy loci. Applications include Graham-positivity of coefficients appearing in equivariant coproduct formulas and expansions of back-stable and enriched Schubert polynomials. We also construct an embedding of the type C flag variety and study the corresponding pullback map on (equivariant) cohomology rings.more » « less

This article proves, in the case of split groups over arbitrary fields, that all fibers of convolution morphisms attached to parahoric affine flag varieties are paved by products of affine lines and affine lines minus a point. This applies in particular to the affine Grassmannian and to the convolution morphisms in the context of the geometric Satake correspondence. The second part of the article extends these results over $$\mathbb Z$$. Those in turn relate to the recent work of Cass-van den Hove-Scholbach on the geometric Satake equivalence for integral motives, and provide some alternative proofs for some of their results. Comment: 24 pages. Minor error corrected with the addition of Lemma 7.2. Lemma 7.3 added. Material on triviality of morphisms added to section 5. Minor changes in notation.

Abstract A spline is an assignment of polynomials to the vertices of a graph whose edges are labeled by ideals, where the difference of two polynomials labeling adjacent vertices must belong to the corresponding ideal. The set of splines forms a ring. We consider spline rings where the underlying graph is the Cayley graph of a symmetric group generated by a collection of transpositions. These rings generalize the GKM construction for equivariant cohomology rings of flag, regular semisimple Hessenberg and permutohedral varieties. These cohomology rings carry two actions of the symmetric group$$S_n$$whose graded characters are both of general interest in algebraic combinatorics. In this paper, we generalize the graded$$S_n$$-representations from the cohomologies of the above varieties to splines on Cayley graphs of$$S_n$$and then (1) give explicit module and ring generators for whenever the$$S_n$$-generating set is minimal, (2) give a combinatorial characterization of when graded pieces of one$$S_n$$-representation is trivial, and (3) compute the first degree piece of both graded characters for all generating sets.more » « less

Abstract. The Peterson variety is a subvariety of the flag manifold G/B equipped with an action of a one-dimensional torus, and a torus invariant paving by affine cells, called Peterson cells. We prove that the equivariant pull-backs of Schubert classes indexed by arbitrary Coxeter elements are dual (up to an intersection multiplicity) to the fundamental classes of Peterson cell closures. Dividing these classes by the intersec- tion multiplicities yields a Z-basis for the equivariant cohomology of the Peterson variety. We prove several properties of this basis, including a Graham positivity property for its structure constants, and stability with respect to inclusion in a larger Peterson variety. We also find for- mulae for intersection multiplicities with Peterson classes. This explains geometrically, in arbitrary Lie type, recent positivity statements proved in type A by Goldin and Gorbutt.more » « less
