Computing the cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence and related invariants

Abstract

We describe the package "IncidenceCorrespondenceCohomology" for the computer algebra system Macaulay2. The main feature concerns the computation of characters and dimensions for the cohomology groups of line bundles on the incidence correspondence (the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane containing it). Additionally, the package provides tools for (1) computing the multiplication in the graded Han-Monsky representation ring, (2) determining the splitting type of vector bundles of principal parts on the projective line, and (3) testing the weak and strong Lefschetz properties for Artinian monomial complete intersections.
