Minimum Quantum Degrees with Maya Diagrams

  • Ryan M. Shifler

摘要

We use Maya diagrams to refine the criterion by Fulton and Woodward for the smallest powers of the quantum parameter q that occur in a product of Schubert classes in the (small) quantum cohomology of partial flags. Our approach using Maya diagrams yields a combinatorial proof that the minimal quantum degrees are unique for partial flags. Furthermore, visual combinatorial rules are given to perform precise calculations.
