“…We have not been able to turn this into a combinatorial characterization of the smallest power, as Fulton and Woodward did ( [11], Proposition 9.1(2)) in the case s = 2. It should be noted that Theorem 1.3 gives no information on the other powers of q that appear in the same product.…”

Abstract.We relate the counting of rational curves intersecting Schubert varieties of the Grassmannian to the counting of certain non-intersecting lattice paths on the cylinder, so-called vicious and osculating walkers. These lattice paths form exactly solvable statistical mechanics models and are obtained from solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. The eigenvectors of the transfer matrices of these models yield the idempotents of the Verlinde algebra of the gaugedû(n) k -WZNW model. The latter is known to be closely related to the small quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We establish further that the partition functions of the vicious and osculating walker model are given in terms of Postnikov's toric Schur functions and can be interpreted as generating functions for GromovWitten invariants. We reveal an underlying quantum group structure in terms of YangBaxter algebras and use it to give a generating formula for toric Schur functions in terms of divided difference operators which appear in known representations of the nil-Hecke algebra.Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). 14N35, 05E05, 05A15, 05A19, 82B23.

“…The basic line bundle over RK (X; /-tl, ---, /-Lb) determines a projective embedding with Hilbert polynomial given by the dimension of the space of genus zero conformal blocks A~/~1,..., at level k with markings knpb, [41], [35], [51] [21], [22]. These GromovWitten invariants of G/P (as opposed to the invariants that appear in the large quantum cohomology) are computable in practice using formulas of D. Peterson [42], whose proofs are given in [22] and [54]. An Let Vectr denote the functor which assigns to any complex manifold S, the isomorphism classes of r-equivariant bundles E -X.…”

The set of conjugacy classes appearing in a product of conjugacy classes in a compact, 1-connected Lie group K can be identified with a convex polytope in the Weyl alcove [37]. In this paper we identify linear inequalities defining this polytope. Each inequality corresponds to a non-vanishing Gromov-Witten invariant for a generalized flag variety G/P , where G is the complexification of K and P is a maximal parabolic subgroup. This generalizes the results for SU (n) of Agnihotri and the second author [1] and Belkale [7] on the eigenvalues of a product of unitary matrices and quantum cohomology of Grassmannians.
