The Cohomology Rings of Regular Nilpotent Hessenberg Varieties in Lie Type A

Abstract Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer and $h: \{1,2,\ldots,n\} \rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ a Hessenberg function. The main results of this paper are two-fold. First, we give a systematic method, depending in a simple manner on the Hessenberg function $h$, for producing an explicit presentation by generators and relations of the cohomology ring $H^\ast({\mathrm{Hess}}(\mathsf{N},h))$ with ${\mathbb Q}$ coefficients of …
