I will describe a natural map from a symmetric polynomial r ing\, which has a basis of Schur polynomials indexed by partitions\, to th e quantum cohomology ring of the partial flag variety\, which has a basis of Schubert classes indexed by permutations or tuples of permutations. We will discuss surprising properties of this map and how this proves a mirr or theorem for type A flag varieties. This is joint work with Elana Kalash nikov.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/MAAGC2023/1/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
