Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, P ⊂ G a parabolic subgroup. We prove an unpublished result of D. Peterson which states that the quantum cohomology QH*(G/P) of a flag variety is, up to localization, a quotient of the homology H*(GrG) of the affine Grassmannian GrG of G. As a consequence, all three-point genus-zero Gromov–Witten invariants of G/P are identified with homology Schubert structure constants of H*(GrG), establishing the equivalence of the quantum and…

Peterson-Lam-Shimozono's theorem is an affine analogue of quantum Chevalley formula
We give a new proof of an unpublished result of Peterson, proved by Lam-Shimozono, which identifies explicitly the structure constants for the multiplications of Schubert classes in the T…

Applying parabolic Peterson: affine algebras and the quantum cohomology of the Grassmannian
The Peterson isomorphism relates the homology of the affine Grassmannian to the quantum cohomology of any flag variety. In the case of a partial flag, Peterson's map is only a surjection, and one…

We discuss a surprising relationship between the partially ordered set of Newton points associated to an affine Schubert cell and the quantum cohomology of the complex flag variety. The main theorem…
Quantum characteristic classes, moment correspondences and the Hamiltonian groups of coadjoint orbits
For any coadjoint orbit G/L, we determine all useful terms of the associated SavelyevSeidel morphism defined on H−∗(ΩG). Immediate consequences are: (1) the dimension of the kernel of the natural map…
Applications of the theory of Floer to symmetric spaces
We quantize the problem considered by Bott-Samelson who applied Morse theory to compact symmetric spaces G/K and the associated real flag manifolds Λ. The starting point is the construction of a…
Peterson Isomorphism in $K$-theory and Relativistic Toda Lattice
The $K$-homology ring of the affine Grassmannian of $SL_n(C)$ was studied by Lam, Schilling, and Shimozono. It is realized as a certain concrete Hopf subring of the ring of symmetric functions. On…
Schubert polynomials for the affine Grassmannian of the symplectic group
We study the Schubert calculus of the affine Grassmannian Gr of the symplectic group. The integral homology and cohomology rings of Gr are identified with dual Hopf algebras of symmetric functions,…
