Schubert polynomials and Arakelov theory of orthogonal flag varieties

Abstract: We propose a theory of combinatorially explicit Schubert polynomials which represent the Schubert classes in the Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of orthogonal flag varieties. We use these polynomials to describe the arithmetic Schubert calculus on these spaces. We also give a method to compute the natural arithmetic intersection numbers which arise, and prove that they are all rational numbers.

Review text

Let \(V\) be a complex vector space equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form. Let \(X\) denote the flag variety for the even orthogonal group, which parameterizes flags of isotropic subspaces in \(V\). In the paper under review, the author develops a theory of combinatorially explicit Schubert polynomials which represent the Schubert classes in the Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of \(X\). These polynomials are applied to understand the structure of the Gillet-Soulé arithmetic Chow ring of \(X\). Actually, the author studies an extra relation which comes from the vanishing of the top Chern class of the maximal isotropic subbundle of the trivial vector bundle over \(X\) and he computes the natural arithmetic Chern numbers on \(X\). Finally, he shows that these arithmetic Chern numbers are all rational.
