In this paper we prove an effective version of the decomposition theorem for the derived pushforward $R \\pi_{*} \\mathbb{Q}_{\\tilde{X}}$. As a by-product, we obtain recursive procedure to extract Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials from the polynomials introduced by V. Deodhar in \\cite{Deo}, which does not require prior knowledge of a minimal set. We also observe that any family of equivariant resolutions of Schubert varieties allows to define a new basis in the Hecke algebra and we show a way to compute the transition matrix, from the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis to the new one.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-03T07:41:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14B05", "14M15", "14E15", "14F45", "32S20", "32S60", "58K15" ], "keywords": [ "schubert variety", "extract kazhdan-lusztig polynomials", "flag manifold", "transition matrix", "hecke algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
