Abstract: The bandwidth of a mathbbC∗-action of a polarized pair (X,L) is a natural measure of its complexity. In this paper we study mathbbC∗-actions on rational homogeneous spaces, determining which provide minimal bandwidth. We prove that the minimal bandwidth is linked to the smallest coefficient of the fundamental weight, in a base of simple roots, which describes the variety as a marked Dynkin diagram. As a direct application of the results we study the Chow ring of the Cayley plane mathrmE6(6).


Tthe author is interested in the action of the group \(\mathbb{C}^*\) on complete homogeneous varieties \(G/P\), where \(G\) is a simple group and \(P\) a maximal parabolic subgroup. The complexity of these actions can be measured using the notion of bandwidth. For each of these varieties the author gives the minimal bandwidth and the explicit subgroup \(\mathbb{C}^*\) of the maximal torus of \(G\) which realises this minimum. The author then uses his results to study the Chow group of the Cayley plane which is isomorphic to a particular \(G/P\).
