AbstractWe prove that the quantum cohomology ring of any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space, specialized at q = 1, is semisimple. This implies that complex conjugation defines an algebra automorphism of the quantum cohomology ring localized at the quantum parameter. We check that this involution coincides with the strange duality defined in our previous article. We deduce Vafa–Intriligator type formulas for the Gromov–Witten invariants.

In our previous paper we suggested a conjecture relating the structure of the small quantum cohomology ring of a smooth Fano variety of Picard number 1 to the structure of its derived category of coherent sheaves. Here we generalize this conjecture, make it more precise, and support it by the examples of (co)adjoint homogeneous varieties of simple algebraic groups of Dynkin types $\mathrm {A}_n$ and $\mathrm {D}_n$ , that is, flag varieties $\operatorname {Fl}(1,n;n+1)$ and isotropic orthogonal Grassmannians $\operatorname {OG}(2,2n)$ ; in particular, we construct on each of those an exceptional collection invariant with respect to the entire automorphism group. For $\operatorname {OG}(2,2n)$ this is the first exceptional collection proved to be full.

We study multiplication of any Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w$ by a Schur polynomial $s_{\lambda}$ (the Schubert polynomial of a Grassmannian permutation) and the expansion of this product in the ring of Schubert polynomials. We derive explicit nonnegative combinatorial expressions for the expansion coefficients for certain special partitions $\lambda$, including hooks and the $2\times 2$ box. We also prove combinatorially the existence of such nonnegative expansion when the Young diagram of $\lambda$ is a hook plus a box at the $(2,2)$ corner. We achieve this by evaluating Schubert polynomials at the Dunkl elements of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra and proving special cases of the nonnegativity conjecture of Fomin and Kirillov.This approach works in the more general setup of the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the complex flag manifold and the corresponding (3-point) Gromov-Witten invariants. We provide an algebro-combinatorial proof of the nonnegativity of the Gromov-Witten invariants in these cases, and present combinatorial expressions for these coefficients.

Using mirror symmetry in Calabi-Yau manifolds M, we study three-point functions of A(M) model operators on the genus 0 Riemann surface in cases of one-parameter families of d-folds realized as Fermat type hypersurfaces embedded in weighted projective spaces and a two-parameter family of d-folds embedded in a weighted projective space Pd+1 [2,2,2,...,2,2,1,1] (2 (d + 1)). These three-point functions [Formula: see text] are expanded by indeterminates [Formula: see text] associated with a set of Kähler coordinates {tl}, and their expansion coefficients count the number of maps with a definite degree which map each of the three-points 0, 1 and ∞ on the world sheet on some homology cycle of M associated with a cohomology element. From these analyses, we can read the fusion structure of Calabi-Yau A(M) model operators. In our cases they constitute a subring of a total quantum cohomology ring of the A(M) model operators. In fact we switch off all perturbation operators on the topological theories except for marginal ones associated with Kähler forms of M. For that reason, the charge conservation of operators turns out to be a classical one. Furthermore, because their first Chern classes c1 vanish, their topological selection rules do not depend on the degree of maps (in particular, a nilpotent property of operators [Formula: see text] is satisfied). Then these fusion couplings {κl} are represented as some series adding up all degrees of maps.
