Equivariant cobordism of flag varieties and of symmetric varieties (Q2377145)

The authors obtain an explicit presentation for the equivariant cobordism ring of a complete flag variety. An immediate corollary is a Borel presentation for the ordinary cobordism ring. It has another application for the equivariant Schubert calculus in cobordism theory. The authors also described the rational equivariant cobordism rings of wonderful symmetric varieties of minimal rank. The equivariant cohomology and the equivariant Chow groups of these two classes of spherical varieties have been extensively studies before. In the setting of equivariant \(K\)-theory, the Borel presentation of complete flag variety is due to [\textit{B. Kostant} and \textit{S. Kumar}, J. Differ. Geom. 32, No. 2, 549--603 (1990; Zbl 0731.55005)]. The analogue results for the equivariant Chow ring and the singular cohomology ring are, respectively due to \textit{M. Brion} [Transform. Groups 2, 225--267 (1997; Zbl 0916.14003)] and \textit{T.-S. Holm} and \textit{R. Sjamaar} [Transform. Groups 13, No. 3-4, 585--615 (2008; Zbl 1221.55007)]. The ordinary cobordism rings of such varieties have been recently described by \textit{J. Hornbostel} and \textit{V. Kiritchenko} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 656, 59--85 (2011; Zbl 1226.14032)] and \textit{B. Calmes, V. Petrov} and \textit{K. Zainoulline} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 46, No. 3, 405--448 (2013; Zbl 1323.14026)].
