Abstract:
We compute the Borel–Moore homology of unramified affine Springer fibers for $\textrm{Gr}_n$ under the assumption that they are equivariantly formal and relate them to certain ideals discussed by Haiman. For $n=3$, we give an explicit description of these ideals, compute their Hilbert series, generators, and relations, and compare them to generalized $(q,t)$-Catalan numbers. We also compare the homology to the Khovanov–Rozansky homology of the associated link, and prove a version of a conjecture of Oblomkov, Rasmussen, and Shende in this case.
