O problema das 4 retas do calculo de Schubert

Abstract

In this dissertation we expose the solve the four line problem in Schubert Calculus using the Plucker embedding, giving emphasis to the study of the relative position of the four given lines in P3, this allows us to obtain an explicit description of the solution's set as well as to give the precise meaning to the notion of general position. In chapter 1, we insert the notion of projective space and other related, which are the basic notions for addressing the problem that we treat. In chapter 2, we introduce the Plucker embedding, !, which allows us to identify the set of lines that meet a xed given line l0 with the intersection of the Plucker's quadric, Q, and the tangent space of Q at !(l0). We also give the description of all the linear varieties contained in the Plucker's quadric Q. Finally, in chapter 3 we demonstrate the Theorem 3.0.3 which is a key ingredient to and solutions for our problem. Moreover, we establish a relationship between the relative position of the four given lines and their solution's set. Finally, we conclude in the appendix with the Shapiro-Shapiro conjecture in the case of the four line problem in Schubert Calculus.
