%0 Journal Article %T Divided Difference Operator for the Highest root Hessenberg variety %A Nicholas Teff %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We construct a divided difference operator using GKM theory. This generalizes the classical divided difference operator for the cohomology of the complete flag variety. This construction proves a special case of a recent conjecture of Shareshian and Wachs. Our methods are entirely combinatorial and algebraic, and rely heavily on the combinatorics of root systems and Bruhat order. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.7840v2
