Critical points of master functions and flag varieties
Abstract
Description
We consider critical points of master functions associated with integral dominant weights of Kac-Moody algebras and introduce a generating procedure constructing new critical points starting from a given one. The set of all critical points constructed from a given one is called a population. We formulate a conjecture that a population is isomorphic to the flag variety of the Langlands dual Kac-Moody algebra and prove the conjecture for algebras $sl_{N+1}, so_{2N+1}$, and $sp_{2N}$.
We show that populations associated with a collection of integral dominant $sl_{N+1}$-weights are in one to one correspondence with intersection points of suitable Schubert cycles in a Grassmannian variety.
