Abstract: Let X be an orthogonal Grassmannian parametrizing isotropic subspaces in an even dimensional vector space equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric form. We prove a Giambelli formula which expresses an arbitrary Schubert class in the singular and quantum cohomology ring of X as a polynomial in certain special Schubert classes. Our analysis reveals a surprising relation between the Schubert calculus on even and odd orthogonal Grassmannians. We also study eta polynomials, a family of polynomials defined using raising operators whose algebra agrees with the Schubert calculus on X.


Consider a complex vector space \(V\) of dimension \(N\) equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric form. Choose an integer \(m < N/2\) and consider the Grassmannian \(\mathrm{OG}=\mathrm{OG}(m; N)\) parametrizing isotropic \(m\)-dimensional subspaces of \(V\). In this paper the authors prove a Giambelli formula expressing the Schubert classes on OG as polynomials in certain special Schubert classes that generate the cohomology ring \(H^* (\mathrm{OGF};\mathbb Z)\) for the even \(N\).
