Passcode: geometry

Abstract:  

The cohomology ring of a complex (partial) flag manifold has two
classical descriptions; a topological one (via characteristic classes)
and a geometric one (via Schubert classes). Similar descriptions are
well-known for real flag manifolds X with mod 2 coefficients. In this
talk I will discuss some aspects of what can be said with rational, or
integer coefficients. Namely, I will consider questions of the following
type: 

1) Which Schubert varieties represent an integer cohomology class? 

2) What are their structure constants? 

3) What can be said about torsion in H^*(X;\Z)? 

I will also discuss some applications of the ring structure to real
Schubert calculus.
