A Puzzle Formula for H*T x
Cx(T*Pn)
Abstract.
We will begin with the work of Davesh Maulik and Andrei Okounkov where
they define a "stable basis" for the T-equivariant cohomology ring
H*T x Cx(T*Grk(Cn)), of the
cotangent bundle to a Grassmannian. Just as we can compute the product
structure of the the cohomology ring of a Grassmannian using Schubert
classes as a basis, it is natural to attempt to do the same for the
cotangent bundle to a Grassmannian using these Maulik-Okounkov classes
as a basis. In this paper I compute the structure constants of both
the regular and equivariant cohomology rings of the cotangent bundle
to projective space, using Maulik-Okounkov classes as a basis. First I
do so directly in Theorem 3.1, and then I put forth a conjectural
positive formula, which uses a variant of Knutson-Tao puzzles, in
Conjecture 4.2. The proof of the puzzle formula relies on an explicit
rational function identity that I have checked through dimension 9.
