Abstract

We study, for a positive integer m, the subalgebra of the cohomology ring of the complex Grassmannians generated by the elements of degree at most m. We build in two ways upon a conjecture for the Hilbert series of this subalgebra due to Reiner and Tudose. The first reinterprets it in terms of the operation of k-conjugation, suggesting two conjectural bases for the subalgebras that would imply their conjecture. The second introduces an analogous conjecture for the cohomology of Lagrangian Grassmannians.
