Abstract
We describe a Schubert induction theorem, a tool for analyzing intersections on a Grassmannian over an arbitrary base ring. The key ingredient in the proof is the Geometric Littlewood-Richardson rule, described in a companion paper. Schubert problems are among the most classical problems in enumerative geometry of continuing interest. As an application of Schubert induction, we address several long-standing natural questions related to Schubert problems, including: the reality of solutions; effective numerical methods; solutions over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic; solutions over finite fields; a generic smoothness (Kleiman-Bertini) theorem; and monodromy groups of Schubert problems. These methods conjecturally extend to the flag variety.
