We consider the Newton stratification on Iwahori double cosets for a connected reductive group. We prove the existence of Newton strata whose closures cannot be expressed as a union of strata, and show how this is implied by the existence…

We classify a "dense open" subset of categories with an action of a reductive group, which we call nondegenerate categories, entirely in terms of the root datum of the group. As an application of our methods, we also: (1) Upgrade an…

We study the decomposition of tensor products between a Steinberg module and a costandard module, both as a module for the algebraic group $G$ and when restricted to either a Frobenius kernel $G_r$ or a finite Chevalley group…

This paper introduces a two-parameter deformation of the cohomology of generalized flag varieties. One special case is the Belkale-Kumar deformation (used to study eigencones of Lie groups). Another picks out intersections of Schubert…

Let $ G $ be a connected reductive algebraic group and its symmetric subgroup $ K $. The variety $ \dblFV = K/Q \times G/P $ is called a double flag variety, where $ Q $ and $ P $ are parabolic subgroups of $ K $ and $ G $ respectively. In…

We prove the Berenstein-Zelevinsky conjecture that the quantized coordinate rings of the double Bruhat cells of all finite dimensional simple algebraic groups admit quantum cluster algebra structures with initial seeds as specified by [4].…

We investigate the spin-Brauer diagram algebra, denoted ${\bf SB}_n(\delta)$, that arises from studying an analogous form of Schur-Weyl duality for the action of the pin group on ${\bf V}^{\otimes n} \otimes \Delta$. Here ${\bf V}$ is the…

The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we provide a type-uniform formula for the torus complexity of the usual torus action on a Richardson variety, by developing the notion of algebraic dimensions of Bruhat intervals, strengthening a…

Linear degenerate flag varieties are degenerations of flag varieties as quiver Grassmannians. For type A flag varieties, we obtain characterizations of flatness, irreducibility and normality of these degenerations via rank tuples. Some of…

We conclude our analysis of bubble divergences in the flat spinfoam model. In [arXiv:1008.1476] we showed that the divergence degree of an arbitrary two-complex Gamma can be evaluated exactly by means of twisted cohomology. Here, we…

Characteristic classes of Schubert varieties can be used to study the geometry and the combinatorics of homogeneous spaces. We prove a relation between elliptic classes of Schubert varieties on a generalized full flag variety and those on…

A 2-Hilbert space is a category with structures and properties analogous to those of a Hilbert space. More precisely, we define a 2-Hilbert space to be an abelian category enriched over Hilb with a *-structure, conjugate-linear on the…

The strata of the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials are non-homogenous spaces carrying natural bi-algebraic structures. Partly inspired by the case of homogenous spaces carrying bi-algebraic structures (such as torii, Abelian varieties…

Generalizing Schubert cells in type A and a cell decomposition if Springer fibres in type A found by L. Fresse we prove that varieties of complete flags in nilpotent representations of an oriented cycle admit an affine cell decomposition…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{\Theta }=G/P_{\Theta }$ be a generalized flag manifold, where $G$ is a real noncompact semi-simple Lie group and $P_{\Theta }$ a parabolic subgroup. A classical result says the Schubert cells, which are the closure of the…

Given any arbitrary semi-algebraic set $X$, any two points in $X$ may be joined by a piecewise $C^2$ path $\gamma$ of shortest length. Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a semi-algebraic stratification of $X$ such that each component of $\gamma \cap…

Cerulli Irelli and Lanini have shown that PBW degenerations of flag varieties in type A and C are actually Schubert varieties of higher rank. We introduce Dynkin cones to parameterise specific abelianisations of classical Lie algebras.…

We describe the integral cohomology rings of the flag manifolds of types B_n, D_n, G_2 and F_4 in terms of their Schubert classes. The main tool is the divided difference operators of Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand and Demazure. As an…

We study the distinction of the Steinberg representation of a split reductive group $G$ with respect to a split symmetric subgroup $H \subset G$. We relate this distinction problem to a problem about the existence of a non-zero harmonic…

We study the ring theory of the multiparameter deformations of the quantum Schubert cell algebras obtained from 2-cocycle twists. This is a large family, which extends the Artin-Schelter-Tate algebras of twisted quantum matrices. We…
