Vanishing and identities of conformal blocks divisors
Prakash Belkale, Angela Gibney, Swarnava Mukhopadhyay
Abstract
Conformal block divisors in type A on Mˉ0,n are shown to satisfy new symmetries when levels and ranks are interchanged in non-standard ways. A connection with the quantum cohomology of Grassmannians reveals that these divisors vanish above the critical level.
