Abstract

In a previous paper we defined the concept of an affinized projective variety and its associated Hilbert series. We computed the Hilbert series for varieties associated to quadratic monomial ideals. In this paper we show how to apply these results to affinized flag varieties. We discuss various examples and conjecture a correspondence between the Hilbert series of an affinized flag variety and a modified Hall-Littlewood polynomial. We briefly discuss the application of these results to quasi-particle character formulas for affine Lie algebra modules.
