Wonderful Symmetric Varieties and Schubert Polynomials (1509.03292v3)
Published 10 Sep 2015 in math.AG and math.CO
Abstract: Extending results of Wyser, we determine formulas for the equivariant cohomology classes of closed orbits of certain families of spherical subgroups of $GL_n$ on the flag variety $GL_n/B$. Putting this together with a slight extension of the results of Can-Joyce-Wyser, we arrive at a family of polynomial identities which show that certain explicit sums of Schubert polynomials factor as products of linear forms.
