We show a Z^2-filtered algebraic structure and a quantum to classical principle on the torus-equivariant quantum cohomology of a complete flag variety of general Lie type, generalizing earlier works of Leung and the second author. We also provide various applications on equivariant quantum Schubert calculus, including an equivariant quantum Pieri rule for any partial flag variety of Lie type A.

A Newton-Okounkov polytope of a complete flag variety can be turned into a convex geometric model for Schubert calculus. Namely, we can represent Schubert cycles by linear combinations of faces of the polytope so that the intersection product of cycles corresponds to the set-theoretic intersection of faces (whenever the latter are transverse). We explain the general framework and survey particular realizations of this approach in types A, B and C.
We investigate the equivariant intersection cohomology of a toric variety. Considering the defining fan of the variety as a finite topological space with the subfans being the open sets (that corresponds to the toric topology given by the invariant open subsets), equivariant intersection cohomology provides a sheaf (of graded modules over a sheaf of graded rings) on that fan space. We prove that this sheaf is a minimal extension sheaf, i.e., that it satisfies three relatively simple axioms which are known to characterize such a sheaf up to isomorphism. In the verification of the second of these axioms, a key role is played by equivariantly formal toric varieties, where equivariant and usual (non-equivariant) intersection cohomology determine each other by Kunneth type formulae. Minimal extension sheaves can be constructed in a purely formal way and thus also exist for non-rational fans. As a consequence, we can extend the notion of an equivariantly formal fan even to this general setup. In this way, it will be possible to introduce virtual intersection cohomology for equivariantly formal non-rational fans.
In the recent paper [arXiv:1612.06893] P. Burgisser and A. Lerario introduced a geometric framework for a probabilistic study of real Schubert Problems. They denoted by $delta_{k,n}$ the average number of projective $k$-planes in $mathbb{R}textrm{P}^n$ that intersect $(k+1)(n-k)$ many random, independent and uniformly distributed linear projective subspaces of dimension $n-k-1$. They called $delta_{k,n}$ the expected degree of the real Grassmannian $mathbb{G}(k,n)$ and, in the case $k=1$, they proved that: $$ delta_{1,n}= frac{8}{3pi^{5/2}} cdot left(frac{pi^2}{4}right)^n cdot n^{-1/2} left( 1+mathcal{O}left(n^{-1}right)right) .$$ Here we generalize this result and prove that for every fixed integer $k>0$ and as $nto infty$, we have begin{equation*} delta_{k,n}=a_k cdot left(b_kright)^ncdot n^{-frac{k(k+1)}{4}}left(1+mathcal{O}(n^{-1})right) end{equation*} where $a_k$ and $b_k$ are some (explicit) constants, and $a_k$ involves an interesting integral over the space of polynomials that have all real roots. For instance: $$delta_{2,n}= frac{9sqrt{3}}{2048sqrt{2pi}} cdot 8^n cdot n^{-3/2} left( 1+mathcal{O}left(n^{-1}right)right).$$ Moreover we prove that these numbers belong to the ring of periods intoduced by Kontsevich and Zagier and we give an explicit formula for $delta_{1,n}$ involving a one dimensional integral of certain combination of Elliptic functions.
Many aspects of Schubert calculus are easily modeled on a computer. This enables large-scale experimentation to investigate subtle and ill-understood phenomena in the Schubert calculus. A well-known web of conjectures and results in the real Schubert calculus has been inspired by this continuing experimentation. A similarly rich story concerning intrinsic structure, or Galois groups, of Schubert problems is also beginning to emerge from experimentation. This showcases new possibilities for the use of computers in mathematical research.
The Macaulay2 package NumericalSchubertCalculus provides methods for the numerical computation of Schubert problems on Grassmannians. It implements both the Pieri homotopy algorithm and the Littlewood-Richardson homotopy algorithm. Each algorithm has two independent implementations in this package. One is in the scripting language of Macaulay2 using the package NumericalAlgebraicGeometry, and the other is in the compiled code of PHCpack.
