The equivariant cohomology of weighted flag orbifolds

Abstract

We describe the torus-equivariant cohomology of weighted partial flag orbifolds ${\mathrm{w}}\Sigma$ of type $A$. We establish counterparts of several results known for the partial flag variety that collectively constitute what we refer to as ``Schubert Calculus on ${\mathrm{w}}\Sigma$''. For the weighed Schubert classes in ${\mathrm{w}}\Sigma$, we give the Chevalley's formula. In addition, we define the weighted analogue of double Schubert polynomials and give the corresponding Chevalley--Monk's formula.
