Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number and let $G = SL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $\Xi$ = Spec$(Z)$ denote the spectrum of the centre $Z$ of the pro-$p$ Iwahori Hecke algebra of $G$ with coefficients in a field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Let…

Toric varieties are a special class of rational varieties defined by equations of the form {\it monomial = monomial}. For a good brief survey of the history and role of toric varieties see [10]. Any toric variety $X$ contains a cover by…

We prove a global local rigidity result for character varieties of 3-manifolds into $\rm{SL}_2$. Given a 3-manifold with toric boundary $M$ satisfying some technical hypotheses, we prove that all but a finite number of its Dehn fillings…

By an additive action on an algebraic variety $X$ we mean a regular effective action $\mathbb{G}_a^n\times X\to X$ with an open orbit of the commutative unipotent group $\mathbb{G}_a^n$. In this paper, we give a classification of additive…

We prove that a smooth and connected algebraic group $G$ is affine if and only if any invertible sheaf on any normal $G$-variety is $G$-invariant. For the proof, a key ingredient is the following result: if $G$ is a connected and smooth…

We prove a decomposition result for a group $G$ acting strongly transitively on the Tits boundary of a Euclidean building. As an application we provide a local to global result for discrete Euclidean buildings, which generalizes results in…

The existence of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety provides a flat degeneration of the variety to a union of projective toric varieties, called a semi-toric variety. Such a stratification is said to be normal when…

We develop a theory of toric Artin stacks extending the theories of toric Deligne-Mumford stacks developed by Borisov-Chen-Smith, Fantechi-Mann-Nironi, and Iwanari. We also generalize the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd theorem to the case of…

Let T be a torus over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, and consider a projective T-module P(V). We determine when a projective toric subvariety X of P(V) is self-dual, in terms of the configuration of weights of V.

Suppose that an algebraic torus $G$ acts algebraically on a projective manifold $X$ with generically trivial stabilizers. Then the Zariski closure of the set of pairs $\{(x,y)\in X\times X\mid y=gx \text{for some}g\in G\}$ defines a nonzero…

In this paper, we prove that: For any given finitely many distinct points $P_1,...,P_r$ and a closed subvariety $S$ of codimension $\geq 2$ in a complete toric variety over a uncountable (characteristic 0) algebraically closed field, there…

Kitaev's toric code is constructed using a finite gauge group from gauge theory. Such gauge theories can be generalized with the gauge group generalized to any finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra. This also leads to generalizations…

The motivation of this work is to construct an analog of compactified moduli of abelian varieties and toric pairs in the case of non-commutative algebraic group G. We introduce a class of "stable reductive varieties" which contain connected…

An affine variety $X$ of dimension $\ge 2$ is called {\em flexible} if its special automorphism group SAut$(X)$ acts transitively on the smooth locus $X_{reg}$ \cite{AKZ}. Recall that the special automorphism group SAut$(X)$ is the subgroup…

We consider a Hamiltonian action of n-dimensional torus, T^n, on a compact symplectic manifold (M,\omega) with d isolated fixed points. For every fixed point p there exists (though not unique) a class a_p in H^*_{T}(M; Q) such that the…

Let G be an affine algebraic group and let X be an affine algebraic variety. An action $G\times X \to X$ is called observable if for any G-invariant, proper, closed subset Y of X there is a nonzero invariant $f\in K[X]^G$ such that f(Y) =0.…

We introduce the classes of TAP groups, in which various types of algebraic fibring are detected by the non-vanishing of twisted Alexander polynomials. We show that finitely presented LERF groups lie in the class $\mathsf{TAP}_1(R)$ for…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth complex projective variety embedded in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{N}$. We construct a smooth family $\mathcal{X}$ over $\mathbb{C}$ with an embedding in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{N} \times \mathbb{C}$ whose…

Generalizing the passage from a fan to a toric variety, we provide a combinatorial approach to construct arbitrary effective torus actions on normal, algebraic varieties. Based on the notion of a ``proper polyhedral divisor'' introduced in…

There exists a covariant non-injective functor from the space of generic Riemann surfaces to the so-called toric AF-algebras; such a functor maps isomorphic Riemann surfaces to the stably isomorphic toric AF-algebras. We use the functor to…
