On the $K$-theoretic logarithmic double ramification class

The logarithmic double ramification cycle is the virtual fundamental class of the locus where a line bundle on a family of curves is fiberwise trivial. We construct a K-theoretic logarithmic double ramification class and prove a product formula and a \(\mathrm{GL}_r(\mathbb Z)\)-invariance property. We also give an explicit formula for this class in terms of a Grothendieck polynomial via a novel $K$-theoretic Thom--Porteous formula for vector bundles on algebraic stacks.

Lifting $I$-functions from the Grassmannians to their cotangent bundles

We relate two fundamental enumerative functions, namely the $I$-functions in the quantum $K$-ring of $G(r,n)$ and of its cotangent bundle, by defining a $K$-theoretic operator on classes, called balancing. This operator lifts the $I$-function of $G(r,n)$ to that of $T^*G(r,n)$, providing an explicit geometric interpretation. We also define an operator acting on difference operators and show that, for certain $K$-theoretic functions and the corresponding difference operators that annihilate them, including the $I$-functions of projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$, the balancing operation on difference operators and on classes is compatible. Moreover, for general $G(r,n)$, we recover the Bethe-Ansatz equations for $T^*G(r,n)$ via a procedure inspired by both balancing and the abelian/non-abelian correspondence.

Toda-Type Presentations for the Quantum K Theory of Partial Flag Varieties

We prove a determinantal, Toda-type, presentation for the equivariant K theory of a partial flag variety ${\rm Fl}(r_1, \dots, r_k;n)$. The proof relies on pushing forward the Toda presentation obtained by Maeno, Naito and Sagaki for the complete flag variety ${\rm Fl}(n)$, via Kato's ${\rm K}_T({\rm pt})$-algebra homomorphism from the quantum K ring of ${\rm Fl}(n)$ to that of ${\rm Fl}(r_1, \dots, r_k;n)$. Starting instead from the Whitney presentation for ${\rm Fl}(n)$, we show that the same pushforward technique gives a recursive formula for polynomial representatives of quantum K Schubert classes in any partial flag variety which do not depend on quantum parameters. In an appendix, we include another proof of the Toda presentation for the equivariant quantum K ring of ${\rm Fl}(n)$, following Anderson, Chen, and Tseng, which is based on the fact that the ${\rm K}$-theoretic $J$-function is an eigenfunction of the finite difference Toda Hamiltonians.
