Contribution
It provides an explicit computation of the class of sub flag varieties in the Chow ring for the Siegel case, connecting geometric embeddings with tautological classes.
Findings
Computed the class of sub flag varieties in the Chow ring for the Siegel case.
Linked the geometric classes to generators supported on the boundary of moduli spaces.
Conjectured a deeper connection between these classes and tautological ring generators.
Abstract
Given a reductive group, choice of maximal torus and Borel subgroup, and two subsets of the simple roots, one obtains a closed embedding of sub flag varieties. In this paper we compute the class of the sub flag variety in the Chow ring for the Siegel case where the group is the general symplectic group and the parabolic stabilises a maximal isotropic subspace. This corresponds, under the isomorphism with the tautological ring of the compactified moduli space of abelian varieties, to the generator of the classes in the tautological ring which are supported on the toroidal boundary. We conjecture that this is not a coincidence.
