In the paper under review, the authors develop the theory of \textit{poset pinball}, a combinatorial game introduced in [\textit{M. Harada} and \textit{J. Tymoczko}, ``Poset pinball, GKM-compatible subspaces, and Hessenberg varieties'', \url{arXiv:1007.2750}] to study the equivariant cohomology ring of a GKM-compatible subspace \(X\) of a GKM space (see Definition 4.5 of [loc. cit.]); Harada and Tymoczko also proved that, in certain circumstances, a \textit{successful outcome of Betti poset pinball} yields a module basis for the equivariant cohomology ring of \(X\). In this paper, the authors first define a \textit{dimension pair algorithm}, which yields a successful outcome of Betti poset pinball for any type \(A\) regular nilpotent Hessenberg and any type \(A\) nilpotent Springer variety, considered as GKM-compatible subspaces of the flag variety. This algorithm is motivated by a correspondence between Hessenberg affine cells and certain Schubert polynomials. Second, in a special case of regular nilpotent Hessenberg varieties, the authors prove that the pinball outcome is \textit{poset-upper-triangular}, and hence the corresponding classes form a \(H^\ast_{S^1}\)(pt)-module basis for the \(S^{1}\)-equivariant cohomology ring of the Hessenberg variety.
