We describe the $\mathfrak sl_3$ non-elliptic webs in terms of convex sets in the affine building. Kuperberg defined the non-elliptic web basis in his work on rank-$2$ spider categories. Fontaine, Kamnitzer, Kuperberg showed that the…
Schneider-Stuhler and Vigneras have used cosheaves on the affine Bruhat-Tits building to construct natural finite type projective resolutions for admissible representations of reductive p-adic groups in characteristic not equal to p. We use…
M. Kapranov introduced and studied in math.AG/9802041 the noncommutative formal structure of a smooth affine variety. In this note we show that his construction is a special case of microlocalization and extend it in a functorial way to…
We recall the well-known Chern-Terng theorem concerning affine minimal surfaces. Next we formulate some complementary (with transversal fields necessarily not parallel) affine B\"acklund theorem. We describe some geometrical conditions…
As a generalisation of Graham and Lehrer's cellular algebras, affine cellular algebras have been introduced in [12] in order to treat affine versions of diagram algebras like affine Hecke algebras of type A and affine Temperley-Lieb…
In \cite{branko} Gr{\"u}nbaum asked if the set of all affine invariant points of a given convex body is equal to the set of all points invariant under every affine automorphism of the body. In \cite{ivan} we have proven the case of a body…
We consider quotients of the Bruhat-Tits building associated to the projective linear groups of dimension $d>2$ over the function field $\mathbb F_q(t)$ by a non-uniform lattice $\Gamma$ which is a congruence subgroup in the non-uniform…
This work is devoted to a systematic study of symplectic convexity for integrable Hamiltonian systems with elliptic and focus-focus singularities. A distinctive feature of these systems is that their base spaces are still smooth manifolds…
Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…
We investigate a class of groups acting on possibly exotic affine buildings $X$ and possessing good proximal properties. Such groups are termed of general type, and their dynamics is analyzed through their flag limit sets in the space of…
We prove that the space of affine, transversal at infinity, non-singular real cubic surfaces has 15 connected components. We give a topological criterion to distinguish them and show also how these 15 components are adjacent to each other…
For a local field $K$ and $n \geq 2$, let $\Xi_n$ and $\Delta_n$ denote the affine buildings naturally associated to the special linear and symplectic groups $\SL_n(K)$ and $\Sp_n(K)$, respectively. We relate the number of vertices in…
Kac-Moody groups over finite fields are finitely generated groups. Most of them can naturally be viewed as irreducible lattices in products of two closed automorphism groups of non-positively curved twinned buildings: those are the most…
Artstein-Avidan and Milman [Annals of mathematics (2009), (169):661-674] characterized invertible reverse-ordering transforms on the space of lower semi-continuous extended real-valued convex functions as affine deformations of the ordinary…
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
Let $X$ be a locally finite irreducible affine building of dimension $\geq 2$ and $\Gamma \leq \mathrm{Aut}(X)$ be a discrete group acting cocompactly. The goal of this paper is to address the following question: When is $\Gamma$ linear?…
This paper deals with non-Archimedean representations of punctured surface groups in PGL(3), associated actions on Euclidean buildings (of type A2), and degenerations of real convex projective structures on surfaces. The main result is…
Suppose that \Delta, \Delta' are two buildings each arising from a semisimpe algebraic group over a field, a topological field in the former case, and that for both the buildings the Coxeter diagram has no isolated nodes. We give conditions…
Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…
The subject matter of this paper is the geometry of the affine group over the integers, $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$. Turing-computable complete $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$-orbit invariants are…
