Let M be a Fano manifold, and H^🟉(M; ℂ) be the quantum cohomology ring of M with the quantum product 🟉. For 𝜎 ∈ H^🟉(M; ℂ), denote by [𝜎] the quantum multiplication operator 𝜎🟉 on H^🟉(M; ℂ). It was conjectured several years ago [7,8] and has been proved for many Fano manifolds [1,2,10,14], including our cases, that the operator [c₁(M)] has a real valued eigenvalue 𝛿₀ which is maximal among eigenvalues of [c₁(M)]. Galkin's lower bound conjecture [6] states that for a Fano manifold M, 𝛿₀ ≥ dim M + 1, and the equality holds if and only if M is the projective space ℙⁿ. In this note, we show that Galkin's lower bound conjecture holds for Lagrangian and orthogonal Grassmannians, modulo some exceptions for the equality.

Complex Grassmann manifolds $G_{n,k}$ are a generalization of complex projective spaces and have many important features some of which are captured by the $Pl{\ddot{u}}cker$ embedding $f:G_{n,k}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$ where $N=\(^n_k\)$. The problem of existence of cross sections of fibrations can be studied using the Gottlieb group. In a more generalized context one can use the relative evaluation subgroup of a map to describe the cohomology of smooth fiber bundles with fiber the (complex) Grassmann manifold $G_{n,k}$. Our interest lies in making use of techniques of rational homotopy theory to address problems and questions involving applications of Gottlieb groups in general. In this paper, we construct the Sullivan minimal model of the (complex) Grassmann manifold $G_{n,k}$ for $2{\leq}k<n$, and we compute the rational evaluation subgroup of the embedding $f:G_{n,k}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$. We show that, for the Sullivan model ${\phi}:A{\rightarrow}B$, where A and B are the Sullivan minimal models of ${\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$ and $G_{n,k}$ respectively, the evaluation subgroup $G_n(A,B;{\phi})$ of ${\phi}$ is generated by a single element and the relative evaluation subgroup $G^{rel}_n(A,B;{\phi})$ is zero. The triviality of the relative evaluation subgroup has its application in studying fibrations with fibre the (complex) Grassmann manifold.
