We give an explicit description of the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles on the affine Grassmannian for arbitrary complex reductive groups. We also give a combinatorial characterization of the MV polytopes. We prove that a polytope is an MV polytope…

We study, in type A, the algebraic cycles (MV-cycles) discovered by I. Mirkovi\'c and K. Vilonen [MV]. In particular, we partition the loop Grassmannian into smooth pieces such that the MV-cycles are their closures. We explicitly describe…

Let Gr be the affine Grassmannian for a connected complex reductive group G. Let C_G be the complex vector space spanned by (equivalence classes of) Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles in Gr. The Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian can be used to define a…

Mirkovic and Vilonen discovered a canonical basis of algebraic cycles for the intersection homology of (the closures of the strata of) the loop Grassmannian. The moment map images of these varieties are a collection of polytopes, and they…

In an earlier work, we proved that MV polytopes parameterize both Lusztig's canonical basis and the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles on the Affine Grassmannian. Each of these sets has a crystal structure (due to Kashiwara-Lusztig on the canonical…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex algebra of countable dimension, $G$ be a finite automorphism group of $V$ and $\sigma$ be a central element of $G$. Assume that ${\cal S}$ is a finite set of inequivalent irreducible $\sigma$-twisted $V$-modules…

Using the geometric Satake correspondence, the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles in the affine Grasssmannian give bases for representations of a semisimple group G . We prove that these bases are "perfect", i.e. compatible with the action of the…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and let $G^\vee$ be its Langlands dual. Let us choose a triangular decomposition $\mathfrak g^\vee=\mathfrak n^\vee_-\oplus\mathfrak h^\vee\oplus\mathfrak n^\vee_+$ of the Lie algebra $G^\vee$.…

Let $\widehat{G}$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field with a pinning-preserving outer automorphism $\sigma$. Jantzen's twining character formula relates the trace of the action of $\sigma$ on a highest-weight…

An {\em MV-pair} is a pair $(B,G)$ where $B$ is a Boolean algebra and $G$ is a subgroup of the automorphism group of $B$ satisfying certain conditions. Let $\sim_G$ be the equivalence relation on $B$ naturally associated with $G$. We prove…

The fusion of two Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles is a degeneration of their product, defined using the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian. In this paper, we put in place a conceptually elementary approach to computing this product in type $A$. We do…

The irreducible components of the variety of all modules over the preprojective algebra and MV cycles both index bases of the universal enveloping algebra of the positive part of a semisimple Lie algebra canonically. To relate these two…

Mirkovi\'c-Vilonen (MV) polytopes are a class of generalized permutahedra originating from geometric representation theory. In this paper we study MV polytopes coming from matroid polytopes, flag matroid polytopes, Bruhat interval…

This article provides an account of the functorial correspondence between irreducible singular $G$-monopoles on $S^1\times \Sigma$ and $\vec{t}$-stable meromorphic pairs on $\Sigma$. The main theorem of [1] is thus generalized here from…

Mirkovi\'c--Vilonen (MV) polytopes play a key role in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups, while the geometric behavior of prime MV polytopes under Minkowski addition remains a subtle open problem. This paper focuses on…

We give a construction of MV-polytopes of a complex semisimple algebraic group G in terms of the geometry of the Bott-Samelson variety and the affine building. This is done by using the construction of dense subsets of MV-cycles by Gaussent…

We establish a bijective correspondence between Smirnov words with balanced letter multiplicities and Hamiltonian paths in complete $m$-partite graphs $K_{n,n,\ldots,n}$. This bijection allows us to derive closed inclusion-exclusion…
