Cohomology classes of conormal bundles of Schubert varieties and Yangian weight functions

Abstract: We consider the conormal bundle of a Schubert variety

S_{I}

in the cotangent bundle

T^{*} G r

of the Grassmannian

G r

of

k

-planes in

C^{n}

. This conormal bundle has a fundamental class

k a p p a_{I}

in the equivariant cohomology

H_{T}^{*} (T^{*} G r)

. Here

T = (C^{*})^{n} i m e s C^{*}

. The torus

(C^{*})^{n}

acts on

T^{*} G r

in the standard way and the last factor

C^{*}

acts by multiplication on fibers of the bundle. We express this fundamental class as a sum

Y_{I}

of the Yangian

Y (g l_{2})

weight functions

(W_{J})_{J}

. We describe a relation of

Y_{I}

with the double Schur polynomial

[S_{I}]

. A modified version of the

k a p p a_{I}

classes, named

k a p p a'_{I}

, satisfy an orthogonality relation with respect to an inner product induced by integration on the non-compact manifold

T^{*} G r

. This orthogonality is analogous to the well known orthogonality satisfied by the classes of Schubert varieties with respect to integration on

G r

. The classes

(k a p p a'_{I})_{I}

form a basis in the suitably localized equivariant cohomology

H_{T}^{*} (T^{*} G r)

. This basis depends on the choice of the coordinate flag in

C^{n}

. We show that the bases corresponding to different coordinate flags are related by the Yangian R-matrix.
