Restriction formula for stable basis of the Springer resolution (Q508433)

The paper applies the Maulik-Okounkov construction of stable basis of equivariant cohomology to the Springer resolution and cotangent bundles to partial flag varieties. Let \(G\) be a complex semisimple algebraic group, \(B_G\) a Borel subgroup, \(\mathcal{B}:=G/B\), \(A\) a maximal torus of \(G\), \(T:=A\times\mathbb{C}^*\), \(P\) a parabolic subgroup, and \(\mathcal{P}:=G/P\). The Springer resolution is the cotangent bundle \(T^*\mathcal{B}\). The main results give the stable bases of \(H_T^*(T^*\mathcal{B})\), \(H_T^*(T^*\mathcal{P})\), and their restrictions to the torus fixed points. As an application, the authors obtain by a limiting process proofs of Billey's restriction formula for Schubert varieties in \(\mathcal{B}\), and Tymoczko's generalization of it in \(\mathcal{P}\).
