We prove some results about closures of certain matrix varieties consisting of elements with the same centralizer dimension. This generalizes a result of Dixmier and has applications to topological generation of simple algebraic groups.

We generalize the logarithmic decomposition theorem of Deligne-Illusie to a filtered version. There are two applications. The easier one provides a mod $p$ proof for a vanishing theorem in characteristic zero. The deeper one gives rise to a…

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 define and give axioms for Garside and locally Garside categories. We give an application to Coxeter and Artin groups and Deligne-Lusztig varieties.

The study of certain union $X(\mu, b)$ of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in the affine flag varieties arose from the study of Shimura varieties with Iwahori level structure. In this paper, we give an explicit formula of $\dim X(\mu, b)$…

We show that, for a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of zero or good characteristic, the parts, called strata, in the partition of G recently introduced by Lusztig are unions of sheets of conjugacy…

This paper concerns the dimensions of certain affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, both in the affine Grassmannian and in the affine flag manifold. Rapoport conjectured a formula for the dimensions of the varieties X_mu(b) in the affine…

We show the existence of cluster $\mathcal{A}$-structures and cluster Poisson structures on any braid variety, for any simple Lie group. The construction is achieved via weave calculus and a tropicalization of Lusztig's coordinates. Several…

For smooth families of projective algebraic curves, we extend the notion of intersection pairing of metrized line bundles to a pairing on line bundles with flat relative connections. In this setting, we prove the existence of a canonical…

We compute the connected components of arbitrary parahoric level affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties and local Shimura varieties, thus resolving a folklore conjecture in full generality (even for non-quasisplit groups). We achieve this by…

Let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety and $f$ a morphism $X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$. We give a new proof of the fact that the preimage of any linear variety of dimension $k\ge n+1-\dim f(X)$ is connected. We prove that the…

Given a connected reductive group $\tilde{G}$ over a finite field $k$, and a semisimple $k$-automorphism $\varepsilon$ of $\tilde{G}$ of finite order, let $G$ denote the connected part of the group of $\varepsilon$-fixed points. Then there…

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.

In our recent paper [Sh1] a version of the "generalized Deligne conjecture" for abelian $n$-fold monoidal categories is proven. For $n=1$ this result says that, given an abelian monoidal $k$-linear category $\mathscr{A}$ with unit $e$, $k$…

We prove that a degeneration rationally connected varieties over a field of characteristic zero always contains a geometrically irreducible subvariety which is rationally connected.

New criteria are shown that certain combinations of finite unimodal polynomials are unimodal. %Given unimodal polynomials with explicit expressions and dependent recursion relations, we propose an approach to determine their modes. As…

We apply the dimension theory developed in [BKV] to establish some of Lusztig's conjectures [Lu].

The Deligne conjecture (many times a theorem) endows Hochschild cochains of a linear category with the structure of an $E_2$-algebra, that is, of an algebra over the little 2-disks operad. In this paper, we prove the cyclic Deligne…

Let $X$ be a connected smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n \geq 1$. Let $D$ be a simple normal crossing divisor on $X$. Let $G$ be a connected complex Lie group, and $E_G$ a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle on $X$. In this…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and $W$ be the associated Weyl group. We show that for any $w \in W$ that is not contained in any standard parabolic subgroup of…
