An equivariant quantum Pieri rule for the Grassmannian on cylindric shapes (Q2138564)

Summary: The quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian is determined by the quantum Pieri rule for multiplying by Schubert classes indexed by row or column-shaped partitions. We provide a direct equivariant generalization of Postnikov's quantum Pieri rule for the Grassmannian in terms of cylindric shapes, complementing related work of \textit{V. Gorbounov} and \textit{C. Korff} [Adv. Math. 313, 282--356 (2017; Zbl 1386.14181)] in quantum integrable systems. The equivariant terms in our Graham-positive rule simply encode the positions of all possible addable boxes within one cylindric skew diagram. As such, unlike the earlier equivariant quantum Pieri rule of \textit{Y. Huang} and \textit{C. Li} [J. Algebra 441, 21--56 (2015; Zbl 1349.14173)] and known equivariant quantum Littlewood-Richardson rules, our formula does not require any calculations in a different Grassmannian or two-step flag variety.
