The Hodge Star Operator on Schubert Forms
Abstract:- The Hodge star operator acts on the space of differential forms on a
hermitian complex manifold X and induces an action on the harmonic forms,
hence on the cohomology of X. I will give explicit combinatorial formulas
for this action when X is a compact hermitian symmetric space, such as
a Grassmannian, and discuss connections of this problem with the Lefschetz
theory on X. I will also talk about the motivation for this work, which
came from a conjecture in Arakelov geometry.
