We classify algebraic curves in $\mathbb{CP}^{n}$ ($n \geq 2$) that are invariant under an infinite subgroup of $\operatorname{PGL}(n+1,\mathbb{C})$. In particular, we prove that any irreducible, non-degenerate, one-dimensional algebraic…

We extend Carter's notion of admissible diagrams and attach a "Dynkin-like" diagram to each reduced reflection factorization of an element in a finite Weyl group. We give a complete classification for the diagrams attached to reduced…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

Automorphisms of the quantum Schubert cell algebras ${\mathcal U}_q^\pm[w]$ of De Concini, Kac, Procesi and Lusztig and their restrictions to some key invariant subalgebras are studied. We develop some general rigidity results and apply…

We define an action of the Weyl group W of a simple Lie algebra g on a completion of the ring Y, which is the codomain of the q-character homomorphism of the corresponding quantum affine algebra U_q(g^). We prove that the subring of…

The action of a Weyl group on the associated weight lattice induces an additive action on the symmetric algebra and a multiplicative action on the group algebra of the lattice. We show that the coinvariant space of the multiplicative action…

Let G=SU(2) and let \Omega G denote the space of continuous based loops in G, equipped with the pointwise conjugation action of G. It is a classical fact in topology that the ordinary cohomology H^*(\Omega G) is a divided polynomial algebra…

We verify the conjecture formulated in math.AG/0111298 for suspension singularities of type $g(x,y,z)= f(x,y)+z^n$, where $f$ is an irreducible plane curve singularity. More precisely, we prove that the modified Seiberg-Witten invariant of…

Let G be a connected Lie group with Lie algebra g. The Duflo map is a vector space isomorphism between the symmetric algebra S(g) and the universal enveloping algebra U(g) which, as proved by Duflo, restricts to a ring isomorphism from…

We study invariant distributions on the tangent space to a symmetric space. We prove that an invariant distribution with the property that both its support and the support of its Fourier transform are contained in the set of…

In the late 1980s, A. Premet conjectured that the variety of nilpotent elements of any finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is irreducible. This conjecture remains open, but it…

Random walk on the chambers of hyperplanes arrangements is used to define a family of card shuffling measures $H_{W,x}$ for a finite Coxeter group W and real $x \neq 0$. By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple orbits…

We relate Kellendonk and Putnam's pattern-equivariant (PE) cohomology to the inverse-limit structure of a tiling space. This gives a version of PE cohomology with integer coefficients, or with coefficients in any Abelian group. It also…

We construct all independent local scalar monomials in the Riemann tensor at arbitrary dimension, for the special regime of static, spherically symmetric geometries. Compared to general spaces, their number is significantly reduced: the…
