The registered company address is: 152 Beach Road, #21-01/04 Gateway East, Singapore 189721, Singapore Preface With roots in enumerative geometry and Hilbert’s 15th problem, modern Schubert Calculus studies classical and quantum intersection rings on spaces with symme- tries, such as flag manifolds. The presence of symmetries leads to particularly rich structures, and it connects Schubert Calculus to many branches of mathematics, includingalgebraic geometry,combinatorics,representationtheory,andtheoretical physics. For instance, the study of the quantum cohomology ring of a Grassmann manifold combines all these areas in an organic way. The current volume show- cases some of the newest developments in the subject, as presented at the “International Festival in Schubert Calculus”, a conference held at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, during November 6–10, 2017. The event included a 1-day mini-school and a 4-day international conference entitled“TrendsinSchubertCalculus”.Therewereover80participants,morethan one half of which were international, from countries such as Australia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Poland, Russia, United Kingdom, and the U.S.A. This event continued the tradition of conferences in Schubert Calculus with large international participation; there were three such conferences in the past decade (Toronto 2010, Osaka 2012 and Bedlewo 2015). The current volume includes 12 papers authored by some of the speakers, coveringalargearrayoftopics,includingseveralhigh-qualitysurveys.Eachofthe paperswasrefereedbytwoanonymousexpertsinthefield.Thisvolumecouldnot have existed without the combined efforts of the authors and referees, and we are grateful for everyone’s contribution. ProblemswithrootsinclassicalSchubertCalculusattractedsignificantattention. The factorial Grothendieck polynomials, which investigate polynomials repre- senting Schubert classes in K theory, were discussed in the paper by Matsumura and Sugimoto. The related problem offinding formulas for cohomology classes of various degeneracy loci is addressed in a paper by Darondeau and Pragacz. Yet anotherproblemwithrootsinSchubert’sclassicalwork,thatoffindingformulasfor the order of contact between manifolds, is investigated in the paper by Domitrz, Mormul, and Pragacz. Finally, Duan and Zhao address and survey Schubert’s v vi Preface classical problem of characteristics, and find presentations for the integral coho- mology rings offlag manifolds, including those of exceptional Lie types. TherearerichconnectionsbetweenSchubertCalculusandthecombinatoricsof symmetricfunctionsandpolynomials.AsurveybyPechenikandSearleshighlights the properties of some of the most important bases of polynomials relevant for geometry. Expanding on this, a topic of current high interest is to relate and apply Schubert Calculus methods to problems in (combinatorial and geometric) repre- sentation theory. Three papers in the volume address such connections: Anderson and Nigro investigate the geometric Satake correspondence in relation to minuscule Schubert Calculus; McGlade, Ram, and Yang wrote a survey on the combinatorics and geometry ofintegrablerepresentations ofquantumaffine algebraswith a particular focus on level 0; this is motivated by Schubert Calculus on semi-infinite flag manifolds. Finally, Su and Zhong wrote a survey showcasing applications of Maulik and Okounkov’s theory of stable envelopes on the cotangent bundle of a flagvarietytovariousproblemsingeometryandrepresentationtheory.Thisrecent direction, which one may call “Cotangent Schubert Calculus”, is closely related to the study of characteristic classes of singular varieties; from this viewpoint, it is studied by Fehér, Rimányi, and Weber. Methods and questions from Schubert Calculus can be adapted to varieties relatedtoflagmanifoldsortogeneralizationsofthecohomologyring.Asurveyby Abe and Horiguchi is investigating the properties of the cohomology rings of Hessenbergvarieties;these generalize theusualflagvarieties,thePetersonvariety, andtheSpringerfibre.Inanotherdirection,Hudson,Matsumura,andPerrinaddress the problem of defining stable Bott-Samelson classes in the algebraic cobordism; this is closely related to the outstanding problem of defining Schubert classes in more general oriented cohomology theories. Finally,apaperbyKim,Oh,Ueda,andYoshidagivesanexpositoryaccountof quasimap theory, and proves a generalization of toric residue mirror symmetry to Grassmannians.
