We study two closely related families of varieties arising from genus $0$ stable maps to the Lagrangian Grassmannian $\operatorname{LG}(n,2n)$. First, we construct the Kausz--type compactification $\mathcal {TL}_n$ of the space of symmetric…

Magill proved that the remainders of two locally compact Hausdorff spaces in their StoneCech compactifications are homeomorphic if and only if the lattices of their Hausdorff compactifications are lattice isomorphic. His construction for…

We study the problem of uniformizing quasi-projective varieties with logcanonical compactifications. More precisely, given a complex projective variety X with log-canonical singularities, we give criteria for X to be isomorphic to a…

We give a geometric interpretation of the maximal Satake compactification of symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, showing that it arises by attaching the horofunction boundary for a suitable $G$-invariant Finsler metric on $X$. As…

A smooth compactification X<n> of the configuration space of n distinct labeled points in a smooth algebraic variety X is constructed by a natural sequence of blowups, with the full symmetry of the permutation group S_n manifest at each…

We prove a 1979 conjecture of Lusztig on the cohomology of semi-infinite Deligne--Lusztig varieties attached to division algebras over local fields. We also prove the two conjectures of Boyarchenko on these varieties. It is known that in…

We prove a conjecture of Broue about the Jordan decomposition of blocks of finite reductive groups. We show that a block of a finite connected reductive group, in non-describing characteristic, is Morita-equivalent to a quasi-isolated block…

We continue the study of properties related to monotone countable paracompactness, investigating various monotone versions of $\delta$-normality. We factorize monotone normality and stratifiability in terms of these weaker properties.

We define a certain compactifiction of the general linear group and give a modular description for its points with values in arbitrary schemes. This is a first step in the construction of a higher rank generalization of Gieseker's…

This paper addresses some conjectures and questions regarding the absolute and relative compactifications of the $\SL(2,\C)$-character variety of an $n$-punctured Riemann surface without boundary. We study a class of projective…

This paper gives an explicit formula of the dimension of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated with generic Newton point in terms of Demazure product of Iwahori-Weyl groups.

We construct modular compactifications of the universal Jacobian stack over the moduli stack of reduced curves with marked points depending on stability parameters obtained out of fixing a vector bundle on the universal curve. When…

We use geometry of the wonderful compactification to obtain a new proof of the relation between Deligne-Lusztig (or Alvis-Curtis) duality for $p$-adic groups and the homological duality. This provides a new way to introduce an involution on…

In this study, we refine the compactification presented by Witz \cite{Witz} for general semigroups to the case of bounded $C_0$-semigroups, involving adjoint theory for this class of operators. This approach considerably reduces the…

We construct the Bruhat--Tits stratification of the reduced locus of the ramified unitary Rapoport--Zink space of signature $(n-1,1)$, with the level being the stabilizer of a vertex lattice. We develop the local model theory for…

We generalize in positive characteristics some results of Bien and Brion on log homogeneous compactifications of a homogeneous space under the action of a connected reductive group. We also construct an explicit smooth log homogeneous…

If $G$ is a complex simply connected semisimple algebraic group and if $\lambda$ is a dominant weight, we consider the compactification $X_\lambda$ in the projectivisation of $\End(V(\lambda))$ obtained as the closure of the $G\times…

Previously, the authors used the insights of Robinson's non-standard analysis as a powerful tool to extend and simplify the construction of some compactifications of regular spaces. They now show that any Hausdorff compactification is…

In this short note we show that the homotopy category of smooth compactifications of smooth algebraic varieties is equivalent to the homotopy category of smooth varieties over a field of characteristic zero. As an application we show that…

The space of closed subgroups of a locally compact topological group is endowed with a natural topology, called the Chabauty topology. Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type, and G be its group of isometries. The space X identifies…
