A Borel-Weil-Bott theorem for Quot schemes on the projective line

Abstract:

The cohomology groups of tautological bundles on Grassmannians are described by the celebrated Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. Quot schemes on the projective line provide a natural generalization of Grassmannians: they parametrize rank r quotients of a vector bundle V on the projective line. In this talk, I will present formulas for Euler characteristics and for the cohomology groups of tautological bundles on these Quot schemes. Additionally, I will describe how these formulas apply to the study of the quantum K-theory of Grassmannians.
