Bases of the intersection cohomology of Grassmannian Schubert varieties

Abstract

The parabolic Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials for Grassmannians can be computed by counting Dyck partitions. We “lift” this combinatorial formula to the corresponding category of singular Soergel bimodules to obtain bases of the Hom spaces between indecomposable objects. In particular, we describe bases of intersection cohomology of Schubert varieties in Grassmannians parametrized by Dyck partitions which extend (after dualizing) the classical Schubert basis of the ordinary cohomology.
