Giambelli Formula
In mathematics, Giambelli's formula, named after Giovanni Giambelli, expresses Schubert classes as determinants in terms of special Schubert classes. It states :\displaystyle \sigma_\lambda= \det(\sigma_)_ where σλ is the Schubert class of a partition λ. Giambelli's formula may be derived as a consequence of Pieri's formula. The Porteous formula is a generalization to morphisms of vector bundles over a variety. In the theory of symmetric functions, the same identity, known as the first Jacobi-Trudi identity expresses Schur functions as determinants in terms of complete symmetric functions. There is also the dual second Jacobi-Trudi identity which expresses Schur functions as determinants in terms of elementary symmetric functions. The corresponding identity also holds for Schubert classes. There is another Giambelli identity, expressing Schur functions as determinants of matrices whose entries are Schur functions corresponding to ''hook partit ...

Schubert Class
In mathematics, Schubert calculus is a branch of algebraic geometry introduced in the nineteenth century by Hermann Schubert in order to solve various counting problems of projective geometry and, as such, is viewed as part of enumerative geometry. Giving it a more rigorous foundation was the aim of Hilbert's 15th problem. It is related to several more modern concepts, such as characteristic classes, and both its algorithmic aspects and applications remain of current interest. The term Schubert calculus is sometimes used to mean the enumerative geometry of linear subspaces of a vector space, which is roughly equivalent to describing the cohomology ring of Grassmannians. Sometimes it is used to mean the more general enumerative geometry of algebraic varieties that are homogenous spaces of simple Lie groups. Even more generally, Schubert calculus is sometimes understood as encompassing the study of analogous questions in generalized cohomology theories. The objects introduced by ...

Partition (number Theory)
In number theory and combinatorics, a partition of a non-negative integer , also called an integer partition, is a way of writing as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. (If order matters, the sum becomes a composition.) For example, can be partitioned in five distinct ways: : : : : : The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition is the same partition as , and the two distinct compositions and represent the same partition as . An individual summand in a partition is called a part. The number of partitions of is given by the partition function . So . The notation means that is a partition of . Partitions can be graphically visualized with Young diagrams or Ferrers diagrams. They occur in a number of branches of mathematics and physics, including the study of symmetric polynomials and of the symmetric group and in group representa ...

Pieri's Formula
In mathematics, Pieri's formula, named after Mario Pieri, describes the product of a Schubert cycle by a special Schubert cycle in the Schubert calculus, or the product of a Schur polynomial by a complete symmetric function. In terms of Schur functions ''s''λ indexed by partitions λ, it states that :\displaystyle s_\mu h_r=\sum_\lambda s_\lambda where ''h''''r'' is a complete homogeneous symmetric polynomial and the sum is over all partitions λ obtained from μ by adding ''r'' elements, no two in the same column. By applying the ω involution on the ring of symmetric functions, one obtains the dual Pieri rule for multiplying an elementary symmetric polynomial In mathematics, specifically in commutative algebra, the elementary symmetric polynomials are one type of basic building block for symmetric polynomials, in the sense that any symmetric polynomial can be expressed as a polynomial in elementary sy ... with a Schur polynomial: :\displaystyle s_\ ...

Porteous Formula
In mathematics, the Porteous formula, or Thom–Porteous formula, or Giambelli–Thom–Porteous formula, is the expression for the fundamental class of a degeneracy locus (or determinantal variety) of a morphism of vector bundles in terms of Chern classes. Giambelli's formula is roughly the special case when the vector bundles are sums of line bundles over projective space. pointed out that the fundamental class must be a polynomial in the Chern classes and found this polynomial in a few special cases, and found the polynomial in general. proved a more general version, and generalized it further. Statement Given a morphism of vector bundles ''E'', ''F'' of ranks ''m'' and ''n'' over a smooth variety, its ''k''-th degeneracy locus (''k'' ≤ min(''m'',''n'')) is the variety of points where it has rank at most ''k''. If all components of the degeneracy locus have the expected codimension In mathematics, codimension is a basic geometric idea that applies to subspaces i ...

Schur Polynomial
In mathematics, Schur polynomials, named after Issai Schur, are certain symmetric polynomials in ''n'' variables, indexed by partitions, that generalize the elementary symmetric polynomials and the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials. In representation theory they are the characters of polynomial irreducible representations of the general linear groups. The Schur polynomials form a linear basis for the space of all symmetric polynomials. Any product of Schur polynomials can be written as a linear combination of Schur polynomials with non-negative integral coefficients; the values of these coefficients is given combinatorially by the Littlewood–Richardson rule. More generally, skew Schur polynomials are associated with pairs of partitions and have similar properties to Schur polynomials. Definition (Jacobi's bialternant formula) Schur polynomials are indexed by integer partitions. Given a partition , where , and each is a non-negative integer, the functions a_ (x ...

Complete Symmetric Function
In mathematics, a function of n variables is symmetric if its value is the same no matter the order of its arguments. For example, a function f\left(x_1,x_2\right) of two arguments is a symmetric function if and only if f\left(x_1,x_2\right) = f\left(x_2,x_1\right) for all x_1 and x_2 such that \left(x_1,x_2\right) and \left(x_2,x_1\right) are in the domain of f. The most commonly encountered symmetric functions are polynomial functions, which are given by the symmetric polynomials. A related notion is alternating polynomials, which change sign under an interchange of variables. Aside from polynomial functions, tensors that act as functions of several vectors can be symmetric, and in fact the space of symmetric k-tensors on a vector space V is isomorphic to the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree k on V. Symmetric functions should not be confused with even and odd functions, which have a different sort of symmetry. Symmetrization Given any function f in n variables wit ...

Elementary Symmetric Function
In mathematics, specifically in commutative algebra, the elementary symmetric polynomials are one type of basic building block for symmetric polynomials, in the sense that any symmetric polynomial can be expressed as a polynomial in elementary symmetric polynomials. That is, any symmetric polynomial is given by an expression involving only additions and multiplication of constants and elementary symmetric polynomials. There is one elementary symmetric polynomial of degree in variables for each positive integer , and it is formed by adding together all distinct products of distinct variables. Definition The elementary symmetric polynomials in variables , written for , are defined by :\begin e_1 (X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n) &= \sum_ X_a,\\ e_2 (X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n) &= \sum_ X_a X_b,\\ e_3 (X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n) &= \sum_ X_a X_b X_c,\\ \end and so forth, ending with : e_n (X_1, X_2, \dots,X_n) = X_1 X_2 \cdots X_n. In general, for we define : e_k (X_1 , \ldots , X_n )=\su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Young Diagram
In mathematics, a Young tableau (; plural: tableaux) is a combinatorial object useful in representation theory and Schubert calculus. It provides a convenient way to describe the group representations of the symmetric and general linear groups and to study their properties. Young tableaux were introduced by Alfred Young, a mathematician at Cambridge University, in 1900. They were then applied to the study of the symmetric group by Georg Frobenius in 1903. Their theory was further developed by many mathematicians, including Percy MacMahon, W. V. D. Hodge, G. de B. Robinson, Gian-Carlo Rota, Alain Lascoux, Marcel-Paul Schützenberger and Richard P. Stanley. Definitions ''Note: this article uses the English convention for displaying Young diagrams and tableaux''. Diagrams A Young diagram (also called a Ferrers diagram, particularly when represented using dots) is a finite collection of boxes, or cells, arranged in left-justified rows, with the row lengths in non-in ...
