Quantum cohomology of partial flag varieties
In the Wintersemester 2020–2021 we will run a seminar on quantum cohomology of partial flag varieties, introducing a second theme to the symphony which is the geometry of partial flag varieties (the first theme being the structure of the derived category, as discussed in the previous seminar). The goal is to:
- introduce quantum cohomology, as a deformation of the usual cohomology of a variety using Gromov–Witten invariants;
- describe methods to work with the quantum cohomology of partial flag varieties;
- give structural results of the quantum cohomology of partial flag varieties, and understand their link to the structure of the derived category;
We have a detailed program.
Where? via Zoom, the link will be distributed to the local participants
