Abstract: We show that a version of dimensional interpolation for the Riemann--Roch--Hirzebruch formalism in the case of a grassmannian leads to an expression for the Euler characteristic of line bundles in terms of a Selberg integral. We propose a way to interpolate higher Bessel equations, their wedge powers, and monodromies thereof to non--integer orders, and link the result with the dimensional interpolation of the RRH formalism in the spirit of the gamma conjectures.

Review text

The dimensions of spaces of sections of certain ample bundles on homogeneous spaces such as the Grassmannian \(\mathrm{Gr}(k,N+k)\) of \(k\)-spaces in \(\mathbb{C}^{N+k}\) can easily be interpolated as functions of the variable \(N\) since they depend on \(N\) polynomially. The Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch (RRH) numerology of projective spaces can be linked to the monodromy (or its version adapted to irregular connections) of the higher Bessel equations and one could ask the question whether the corresponding interpolated differential equation has rudiments of monodromy. The paper announces more detailed versions of these interpolations. It is shown that a version of dimensional interpolation for the RRH formalism in the case of a Grassmannian leads to an expression for the Euler characteristic of line bundles in terms of a Selberg integral. The authors propose a way to interpolate higher Bessel equations, their wedge powers, and monodromies thereof to non-integer orders, and link the result with the dimensional interpolation of the RRH formalism in the spirit of the gamma conjectures.
