Abstract:
Let be a generic coadjoint orbit of a compact semi-simple Lie group . Weight varieties are the symplectic reductions of by the maximal torus in . We use a theorem of Tolman and Weitsman to compute the cohomology ring of these varieties. Our formula relies on a Schubert basis of the equivariant cohomology of , and it makes explicit the dependence on and a parameter in .
