For a complex semi-simple group G and its real form G0 we define a Poisson structure on the flag variety of G such that all the Bruhat cells (for a suitable choice of a Borel subgroup of G) as well as all the G0-orbits are Poisson…

Let G be a connected and reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. An interesting class of representations of G consists of those G-modules having a good filtration -- i.e. a filtration whose…

We study coadjoint $B$-orbits on $\mathfrak{n}^*$, where $B$ is a Borel subgroup of a complex orthogonal group $G$, and $\mathfrak{n}$ is the Lie algebra of the unipotent radical of $B$. To each basis involution $w$ in the Weyl group $W$ of…

Let $G$ be the symplectic group, $\Phi=C_n$ its root system, $B\subset G$ its standard Borel subgroup, $W$ the Weyl group of $\Phi$. To each involution $\sigma\in W$ one can assign the $B$-orbit $\Omega_{\sigma}$ contained in the dual space…

In analogy to the disjoint cycle decomposition in permutation groups, Ore and Specht define a decomposition of elements of the full monomial group and exploit this to describe conjugacy classes and centralisers of elements in the full…

An automorphism of a building is called uniclass if the Weyl distance between any chamber and its image lies in a single (twisted) conjugacy class of the Coxeter group. In this paper we characterise uniclass automorphisms of spherical…

The Bruhat stratification for Shimura varieties of PEL type is studied. In the Siegel case this stratification is a scheme-theoretic variant of the stratification by the a-number. We show that all Bruhat strata are smooth and determine…

Let $F$ be a discretely valued complete field with valuation ring $\mathcal{O}_F$ and perfect residue field $k$ of cohomological dimension $\leq 1$. In this paper, we generalize the Bruhat decomposition in Bruhat and Tits from the case of…

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of prime characteristic. We describe the intersection of a subvariety $X$ of $G$ with a finitely generated subgroup of $G(K)$.

We associate to every central simple algebra with involution of orthogonal type in characteristic two a totally singular quadratic form which reflects certain anisotropy properties of the involution. It is shown that this quadratic form can…

In this paper we continue the study of character sheaves on a reductive group G. To each subset of the set of simple reflections in the Weyl group we associate an algebra of the same kind as an Iwahori-Hecke algebra with unequal parameters…

The permutation representation afforded by a Coxeter group W acting on the cosets of a standard parabolic subgroup inherits many nice properties from W such as a shellable Bruhat order and a flat deformation over Z[q] to a representation of…

We study equivariant real structures on spherical varieties. We call such a structure canonical if it is equivariant with respect to the involution defining the split real form of the acting reductive group G. We prove the existence and…

We study some aspects of noncommutative differential geometry on a finite Weyl group in the sense of S. Woronowicz, K. Bresser {\it et al.}, and S. Majid. For any finite Weyl group $W$ we consider the subalgebra generated by flat…

Many $W$-algebras (e.g. the $W_N$ algebras) are consistent for all values of the central charge except for a discrete set of exceptional values. We show that such algebras can be contracted to new consistent degenerate algebras at these…

We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…

Suppose $k$ is a nonarchimedean local field, $K$ is a maximally unramified extension of $k$, and $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive $k$-group. In this paper we provide parameterizations via Bruhat-Tits theory of: the rational conjugacy…

Let $G$ be a simply connected simple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$, $B$ and $B_-$ be two opposite Borel subgroups in $G$ and $W$ be the Weyl group. For $u$, $v\in W$, it is known that the coordinate ring ${\mathbb C}[G^{u,v}]$ of the…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected, simply laced algebraic group. We construct a monoidal category of representations of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ whose Grothendieck ring contains a cluster algebra with…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…
