In this note, we characterize affine and non-affine Coxeter systems among all Coxeter systems in terms of the structure of their reflection orders. For an infinite irreducible system $(W,S)$, we show that affineness can be characterized in…
Generalizing the dihedral picture for G(M,M,2), we construct Hecke algebras (and present a strategy for constructing Hecke categories) and asymptotic counterparts. We think of these as associated with the complex reflection group G(M,M,N).
Let G be a reductive algebraic group and let H be a reductive subgroup of G. We describe all pairs (G,H) such that for any affine G-variety X with a dense G-orbit isomorphic to G/H the number of G-orbits in X is finite. The maximal number…
We classify the non-degenerate homogeneous hypersurfaces in real and complex affine four-space whose symmetry group is at least four-dimensional.
It is known that the long line supports $2^{\aleph_1}$ many non-diffeomorphic differential structures. We show that the long plane supports a similar number of exotic differential structures, ie structures which are not merely diffeomorphic…
We introduce the class of perturbed right-angled Artin groups. These are constructed by gluing Bieri double groups into standard right-angled Artin groups. As a first application of this construction we obtain families of CAT(0) groups…
We show that many $2$-dimensional Artin groups are residually finite. This includes $3$-generator Artin groups with labels $\geq 4$ except for $(2m+1, 4,4)$ for any $m\geq 2$. As a first step towards residual finiteness we show that these…
In this paper we give a procedure to construct hypersymplectic structures on $R^{4n}$ beginning with affine-symplectic data on $R^{2n}$. These structures are shown to be invariant by a 3-step nilpotent double Lie group and the resulting…
We classify the thick subcategories of an algebraic triangulated standard category with finitely many indecomposable objects.
In this paper, the first family of conforming finite element divdiv complexes on cuboid grids in three dimensions is constructed. Besides, a new family of conforming finite element divdiv complexes with enhanced smoothness on tetrahedral…
We define a compactification of an affine building $\I$ indexed by a family of partitions of the director space $\vec A$ of one of its appartments $A$. This compactification is similar to Satake's compatification of a symetric space, and it…
We propose a construction of affine space (or "polynomial rings") over a triangulated category, in the context of stable derivators.
We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…
We define a notion of morphism for generalized affine buildings, also known as affine $\Lambda$-buildings, extending existing definitions and giving rise to a category of generalized affine buildings. For affine $\Lambda$-buildings equipped…
Affinely closed homogeneous spaces G/H, i.e., affine homogeneous spaces that admit only the trivial affine embedding, are characterized for any affine algebraic group G. As a corollary, a description of affine G-algebras with finitely…
We construct families of $CAT(0)$ groups containing finitely presented groups whose divergence functions are of the form $r^\alpha$ for a dense set of exponents $\alpha \in [2,\infty)$ and $r^q\log(r)$ for integers $q \geq 2$. The same…
The article focuses on a class of second countable groups assembled from profinite and discrete by elementary operations. We focus on a rank associated with these groups that measure their complexity, the decomposition rank. A collection of…
We construct a fundamental theory of the derived category of non-finite bi-filtered complexes.
We introduce special classes of irreducible representations of groups: thick representations and dense representations. Denseness implies thickness, and thickness implies irreducibility. We show that absolute thickness and absolute…
We show that a finitely generated group of analytic diffeomorphisms that is expanding and locally discrete in the analytic category is analytically conjugate to a uniform lattice of a finite covering of the group of projective maps of the…
