The Hodge star operator on Schubert forms (Q697817)

Let \(X=G/P\) be a homogeneous space of a complex semisimple Lie group \(G\) equipped with a Hermitian metric. The authors study the action of the Hodge star operator on the space of harmonic differentials forms on \(X\). They state a theorem about the action of the Hodge star operator on Schubert forms on irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces. They show that the star operator on these spaces maps a Schubert form to a non-zero multiple of the Poincaré dual form (the proof is based on Kostant's construction of a basis of the space of harmonic forms). The calculations of the star operator are used in the fourth section to give an explicit formula for the adjoint of the Lefschetz operator. An example in the final section shows that for complete flag varieties, the star operator no longer maps a Schubert form to a multiple of the Poincaré dual form.
