Résumé
The « classical equals quantum » theorem states that any equivariant Gromov-Witten invariant (3 point, genus zero) of a Grassmann variety can be expressed as a triple intersection of Schubert classes on a two-step partial flag variety. An equivariant triple intersection on a two-step flag variety can in turn be expressed as a sum over puzzles that generalizes both Knutson and Tao’s puzzle rule for Grassmannians and the cohomological puzzle rule for two-step flag varieties. These results together give a Littlewood-Richardson rule for the equivariant quantum cohomology of Grassmannians. I will speak about geometric and combinatorial aspects of this story, which is based on papers with Kresch, Purbhoo, Mihalcea, and Tamvakis.
