String cone and superpotential combinatorics for flag and Schubert varieties in type A

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2318484




Abstract: We study the combinatorics of pseudoline arrangements and their relation to the geometry of flag and Schubert varieties. We associate to each pseudoline arrangement two polyhedral cones, defined in a dual manner. We prove that one of them is the weighted string cone by Littelmann and Berenstein-Zelevinsky. For the other we show how it arises in the framework of cluster varieties and mirror symmetry by Gross-Hacking-Keel-Kontsevich: for the flag variety the cone is the tropicalization of their superpotential while for Schubert varieties a restriction of the superpotential is necessary. We prove that the two cones are unimodularly equivalent. As a corollary of our combinatorial result we realize Caldero's toric degenerations of Schubert varieties as GHKK-degeneration using cluster theory.
