Combinatorics of the abelian-nonabelian correspondence
Speaker: Kaisa Taipale

The Grassmannian Gr(k,n) and the product of projective spaces (P^(n-1))^k are both GIT quotients of the projective space P^(nk-1). One can relate their cohomologies and Gromov-Witten theories by the abelian-nonabelian correspondence. I will explain this geometric relationship and two combinatorial manifestations of the correspondence (through Schubert calculus and through torus localization), finishing with some unanswered questions.
