Abstract

Let F-Theta = G/P-Theta be a generalized flag manifold, where G is a real non-compact semi-simple Lie group and P-Theta a parabolic subgroup. A classical result says the Schubert cells, which are the closure of the Bruhat cells, endow F-Theta with a cellular CW structure. In this paper we exhibit explicit parametrizations of the Schubert cells by closed balls (cubes) in R-n and use them to compute the boundary operator partial derivative for the cellular homology. We recover the result obtained by Kocherlakota {[}1995], in the setting of Morse Homology, that the coefficients of partial derivative are 0 or +/- 2 (so that Z(2)-homology is freely generated by the cells). In particular, the formula given here is more refined in the sense that the ambiguity of signals in the Morse-Witten complex is solved. (C) 2019 Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG).
