ABSTRACT

We prove Newton’s binomial formulas for Schubert Calculus to determine numbers of base point free linear series on the projective line with prescribed ramification divisor supported at given distinct points.

Key words: Schubert Calculus on a Grassmann algebra, Newton’s binomial formulas in Schubert calculus, enumerative geometry of linear series on the projective line.
