Strong Lefschetz Elements of the Coinvariant Rings of Finite Coxeter Groups

For the coinvariant rings of finite Coxeter groups of types other than H4, we show that a homogeneous element of degree one is a strong Lefschetz element if and only if it is not fixed by any reflections. We also give the necessary and sufficient condition for strong Lefschetz elements in the invariant subrings of the coinvariant rings of Weyl groups.

Lefschetz Property, Schur–Weyl Duality and a q-Deformation of Specht polynomial

We describe the Schur–Weyl duality for a polynomial representation of the quantum group and the Hecke algebra of type A from a viewpoint of a q-analog of the strong Lefschetz property. A q-deformation of the Specht polynomial appears as a constituent of bases for irreducible components.

A Note on Quantization Operators on Nichols Algebra Model for Schubert Calculus on Weyl groups

We give a description of the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the flag variety as a certain commutative subalgebra in the tensor product of the Nichols algebras. Our main result can be considered as a quantum analog of a result by Y. Bazlov.

Alcove path and Nichols-Woronowicz model of the equivariant K-theory of generalized flag varieties

Fomin and Kirillov initiated a line of research into the realization of the cohomology and K-theory of generalized flag varieties G/B as commutative subalgebras of certain noncommutative algebras. This approach has several advantages, which we discuss. This paper contains the most comprehensive result in a series of papers related to the mentioned line of research. More precisely, we give a model for the T -equivariant K-theory of a generalized flag variety KT (G/B) in terms of a certain braided Hopf algebra called the Nichols-Woronowicz algebra. Our model is based on the Chevalley-type multiplication formula for KT (G/B) due to the first author and Postnikov; this formula is stated using certain operators defined in terms of so-called alcove paths (and the corresponding affine Weyl group). Our model is derived using a type-independent and concise approach. Dedicated to Professor Kenji Ueno on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday

Affine Nil-Hecke Algebras and Braided Differential Structure on Affine Weyl Groups

We construct a model of the affine nil-Hecke algebra as a subalgebra of the Nichols-Woronowicz algebra associated to a Yetter-Drinfeld module over the affine Weyl group. We also discuss the Peterson isomorphism between the homology of the affine Grassmannian and the small quantum cohomology ring of the flag variety in terms of the braided differential calculus.

EXTENDED QUADRATIC ALGEBRA AND A MODEL OF THE EQUIVARIANT COHOMOLOGY RING OF FLAG VARIETIES

For the root system of type A we introduce and studied a certain extension of the quadratic algebra invented by S. Fomin and the first author, to construct a model for the equivariant cohomology ring of the corresponding flag variety. As an application of our construction we describe a generalization of the equivariant Pieri rule for double Schubert polynomials. For a general finite Coxeter system we construct an extension of the corresponding Nichols-Woronowicz algebra. In the case of finite crystallographic Coxeter systems we present a construction of extended Nichols-Woronowicz algebra model for the equivariant cohomology of the corresponding flag variety.

The Strong Lefschetz Property and the Schur–Weyl Duality

The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate a role played by the SLP in connection with the theory of Artinian rings and the Schur–Weyl duality. We assume that the reader is familiar with commutative algebra but perhaps without knowledge of representation theory, but we are hopeful that the expert in representation theory may also find the following sections of interest.

Complete Intersections with the SLP

The main result of this chapter is Theorem 4.10. This may be regarded as a generalization of Theorem 3.34 which states that the SLP is preserved by tensor products. Using the main theorem, we give some examples of complete intersections with the strong Lefschetz property.

Cohomology Rings and the Strong Lefschetz Property

The Lefschetz property originates in the Hard Lefschetz Theorem for compact Kahler manifolds, so it is natural that some results discussed in the former chapters have geometric backgrounds. For example, Corollary 4.17 on the flat extension can be understood from the cohomology ring of projective space bundles in a geometric setting.

A Generalization of Lefschetz Elements

In this chapter we would like to discuss a generalization of Lefschetz elements for an Artinian local ring to study the Jordan decomposition of a general element. The point of departure for us is Theorem 5.1 due to D. Rees. Several results from Chap. 6 (e.g., stable ideals, Borel fixed ideals, gin(I), etc) are needed at a few points in Chap. 5.
