Abstract

For each infinite series of the classical Lie groups of type $B$, $C$ or $D$, we introduce a family of polynomials parametrized by the elements of the corresponding Weyl group of infinite rank. These polynomials represent the Schubert classes in the equivariant cohomology of the corresponding flag variety. They satisfy a stability property, and are a natural extension of the (single) Schubert polynomials of Billey and Haiman, which represent non-equivariant Schubert classes. When indexed by maximal Grassmannian elements of the Weyl group, these polynomials are equal to the factorial analogues of Schur $Q$- or $P$-functions defined earlier by Ivanov. Pour chaque série infinie des groupe de Lie classiques de type $B$,$C$ ou $D$, nous présentons une famille de polynômes indexées par de éléments de groupe de Weyl correspondant de rang infini. Ces polynômes représentent des classes de Schubert dans la cohomologie équivariante des variétés de drapeaux. Ils ont une certain propriété de stabilité, et ils étendent naturellement des polynômes Schubert (simples) de Billey et Haiman, que représentent des classes de Schubert dans la cohomologie non-équivariante. Quand ils sont indexées par des éléments Grassmanniennes de groupes de Weyl, ces polynômes sont égaux à des analogues factorielles de fonctions $Q$ et $P$ de Schur, étudiées auparavant par Ivanov.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

This article is an extended abstract of (IMN). Details of proofs and some results are omitted. More precisely Cw(z; x) is identified with the inverse limit of Schubert classes corresponding to w ∈ W∞ Another important feature of these polynomials is that if w is a maximal Grassmannian element in W∞ that corresponds to a strict partition λ, Cw(z; x) coincides with Qλ(x) (there are analogous results for types B, D). To prove the surjectivity we first show that the image of Qλ(x|t) under Φ is σw(∞λ ), where wλ is the maximal Grassmannian element corresponding to λ This can be shown by using a vanishing property that characterizes the factorial Schur functions and the equivariant Schubert classes. While our results generalize to all classical Lie types, we will restrict ourselves mainly to type C for the remainder of this article
