Mirror symmetry for certain blowups of Grassmannians
Abstract
We classify when the blowup of a complex Grassmannian $G(k, n)$ along a smooth Schubert subvariety $Z$ is Fano. We compute almost all the two-point, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of the blowup when $Z=G(k, n-1)$. We further prove a mirror symmetry statement for the blowup $X_{2, n}$ of $G(2, n)$ along $G(2, n-1)$, by introducing a toric superpotential $f_{\rm tor}$ and showing the isomorphism between the Jacobi ring of $f_{\rm tor}$ and the small quantum cohomology ring $QH^*(X_{2, n})$.
