We study the geometry of the secant and tangential variety of a cominuscule and minuscule variety, e.g. a Grassmannian or a spinor variety. Using methods inspired by statistics we provide an explicit local isomorphism with a product of an…

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional unitary representation of a compact quantum group $\mathrm{G}$ and denote by $\mathrm{G}_W$ the isotropy subgroup of a linear subspace $W\le V$ regarded as a point in the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}(V)$. We show…

We give a generalization to higher dimensions of Silverman's result on finiteness of integer points in orbits. Assuming Vojta's conjecture, we prove a sufficient condition for morphisms on P^N so that (S,D)-integral points in each orbit are…

Let $X$ be an irreducible algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$, endowed with an algebraic foliation ${\cal{F}}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of minimal invariant variety $V({\cal{F}},Y)$ with respect to $({\cal{F}},Y)$, where $Y$…

Given a number field $K$ and a finite set $S$ of places of $K$, the first main result of this paper shows that the quadratic rational maps $\phi:{\mathbb P}^1\to{\mathbb P}^1$ defined over $K$ which have good reduction at all places outside…

Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3, we calculate the orbit closures in the Witt algebra W under the action of its automorphism group G. We also outline how the same techniques can be used to determine…

Little is known about the global structure of the basins of attraction of Newton's method in two or more complex variables. We make the first steps by focusing on the specific Newton mapping to solve for the common roots of $P(x,y) =…

We consider a tuple $\Phi = (\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_m)$ of commuting maps on a finitary matroid $X$. We show that if $\Phi$ satisfies certain conditions, then for any finite set $A\subseteq X$, the rank of $\{\phi_1^{r_1}\cdots\phi_m^{r_m}(a):a…

Given a finite set T of maps on a finite ring R, we look at the finite simple graph G=(V,E) with vertex set V=R and edge set E={(a,b) | exists t in T, b=t(a), b not equal to a}. An example is when R=Z_n and T consists of a finite set of…

Let $\psi : G\to GL(V)$ and $\varphi :G \to GL (W)$ be representations of finite group $G$. A linear map $T: V\to W$ is called a morphism from $\psi$ to $\varphi$ if it satisfys $T\psi_g= \varphi_g T$ for each $g\in G$ and let…

We introduce and study a new class of representations of surface groups into Lie groups of Hermitian type, called weakly maximal representations. They are defined in terms of invariants in bounded cohomology and extend considerably the…

There are many notions of rank in multilinear algebra: tensor rank, partition rank, slice rank, and strength (or Schmidt rank) are a few examples. Typically the rank $\le r$ locus is not Zariski closed, and understanding the closure (the…

Let $X$ be a variety defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $0$, let $N\in\mathbb{N}$, let $g:X\dashrightarrow X$ be a dominant rational self-map, and let $A:\mathbb{A}^N\to \mathbb{A}^N$ be a linear transformation…

In this note, given a pair $(\mathfrak{g}, \lambda)$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex semisimple Lie algebra and $\lambda \in \mathfrak{h}^*$ is a dominant integral weight of $\mathfrak{g}$, where $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{g}$ is…

We study the topological invariant $\phi$ of Kwieci\'nski and Tworzewski, particularly beyond the case of mappings with smooth targets. We derive a lower bound for $\phi$ of a general mapping, which is similarly effective as the upper bound…

We formulate a strengthening of the Zariski dense orbit conjecture for birational maps of dynamical degree one. So, given a quasiprojective variety $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$, endowed with a…

Let $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be finite and let $\mathfrak{X}_G$ be the moduli space of Langlands parameters valued in $G$, in characteristic distinct from $p$. First, we determine the irreducible components of $\mathfrak{X}_G$. Then, we determine…

We study $\textrm{Sym}(\infty)$-orbit closures of not necessarily closed points in the Zariski spectrum of the infinite polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_{ij}:\, i\in\mathbb{N},\,j\in[n]]$. Among others, we characterize invariant prime ideals…
