完全非负旗簇的离散莫尔斯理论

Discrete Morse theory for totally non-negative flag varieties

Konstanze Rietsch, Lauren Williams

摘要:

在1994年的一篇开创性论文中,Lusztig通过引入任意(广义的,部分的)旗簇G/P的完全非负部分(G/P)_{ \geq 0}来扩展了全正性理论。随后,第二作者提出了具体的猜想,这个细胞分解空间是下一个最好的东西,多面体,通过将其转化为一个正则CW复形,同胚的封闭球。在这篇文章中,我们使用离散的莫尔斯理论证明这个猜想同伦等价。证明了胞腔的边界是球面同伦的,胞腔的闭包是可收缩的。后半部分推广了Lusztig的一个结果,即顶维胞腔的闭包(G/P)_{ \geq 0}是可收缩的.关于胞腔边界的结果,即使是顶维胞腔(G/P)_{> 0}的边界同伦于球面的特殊情况,对除射影空间以外的所有G/P都是新的.

英文摘要:

In a seminal 1994 paper, Lusztig extended the theory of total positivity by introducing the totally non-negative part (G/P)_{\geq 0} of an arbitrary (generalized, partial) flag variety G/P. He referred to this space as a "remarkable polyhedral subspace", and conjectured a decomposition into cells, which was subsequently proven by the first author. Subsequently the second author made the concrete conjecture that this cell decomposed space is the next best thing to a polyhedron, by conjecturing it to be a regular CW complex that is homeomorphic to a closed ball. In this article we use discrete Morse theory to prove this conjecture up to homotopy-equivalence. Explicitly, we prove that the boundaries of the cells are homotopic to spheres, and the closures of cells are contractible. The latter part generalizes a result of Lusztig's that (G/P)_{\geq 0} -- the closure of the top-dimensional cell -- is contractible. Concerning our result on the boundaries of cells, even the special case that the boundary of the top-dimensional cell (G/P)_{> 0} is homotopic to a sphere, is new for all G/P other than projective space.
