Equivariant Cohomology of Grassmannian Spanning Lines

Abstract. For positive integers dkn, let Xn,k,d be the moduli space of n-tuples (ℓ1, ..., ℓn) of lines in Ck such that ℓ1 + ... + ℓn has vector space dimension d. The space Xn,k,d carries an action of the rank k torus T = (C*)k, and we present the T-equivariant cohomology of Xn,k,d. This solves a problem of Pawlowski and Rhoades. Our methods feature the orbit harmonics technique of combinatorial deformation theory and suggest a relationship between orbit harmonics and equivariant cohomology.
