Abstract
We show that the set of totally positive unipotent lower-triangular Toeplitz matrices inGLnGL_nforms a real semi-algebraic cell of dimensionn−1n-1. Furthermore we prove a natural cell decomposition for its closure. The proof uses properties of the quantum cohomology rings of the partial flag varieties ofGLn(C)GL_n(\mathbb {C})relying in particular on the positivity of the structure constants, which are enumerative Gromov–Witten invariants. We also give a characterization of total positivity for Toeplitz matrices in terms of the (quantum) Schubert classes. This work builds on some results of Dale Peterson’s which we explain with proofs in the typeAAcase.
