The theory of MV cycles associated to a complex reductive group $G$ has proven to be a rich source of structures related to representation theory. We investigate double MV cycles, which are analogues of MV cycles in the case of an affine…

We give a Thurston-like definition for laminations on higher Teichmuller spaces associated to a surface $S$ and a semi-simple group $G$ for $G-SL_m$ and $PGL_m$. The case $G=SL_2$ or $PGL_2$ corresponds to the classical theory of…

We study the Poisson geometry of the first congruence subgroup $G_1[[z^{-1}]]$ of the loop group $G[[z^{-1}]]$ endowed with the rational r-matrix Poisson structure for $G=GL_m$ and $SL_m$. We classify all the symplectic leaves on a certain…

Let $G$ be a semisimple complex Lie group with a Borel subgroup $B$. Let $X=G/B$ be the flag manifold of $G$. Let $C=P^1\ni\infty$ be the projective line. Let $\alpha\in H_2(X,{\Bbb Z})$. The moduli space of $G$-monopoles of topological…

Given a differential graded Lie algebra (dgla) L satisfying certain conditions, we construct Poisson structures on the gauge orbits of its set of Maurer-Cartan (MC) elements, termed Maurer-Cartan-Poisson (MCP) structures. They associate a…

We give a realization of the infinity crystal for affine sl(2) using decorated polygons. The construction and proof are combinatorial, making use of Kashiwara and Saito's characterization of the infinity crystal in terms of the *…

We explore the relationship between the category of MV-algebras and its full subcategories of perfect and semisimple algebras, showing that this pair of subcategories defines a pretorsion theory. We study the Galois structure associated…

We study the algebraic geometry and combinatorics of the central degeneration (the degeneration that shows up in local models of Shimura varieties and Gaitsgory's central sheaves) in type A. More specifically, we elucidate the central…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\Lambda^{+}_{G}$ be the monoid of dominant weights of $G$. We construct the integrable crystals $\mathbf{B}^{G}(\lambda),\ \lambda\in\Lambda^{+}_{G}$, using the…

In a previous paper, we developed general techniques for constructing a variety of pseudo-collars, as defined by Guilbault and Tinsley, with roots in earlier work by Chapman and Siebenmann. As an application of our techniques, we exhibited…

Let $G$ be a connected complex semi-simple Lie group, and let $Z_{{\bf u}}$ be an $n$-dimensional Bott-Samelson variety of $G$, where ${\bf u}$ is any sequence of simple reflections in the Weyl group of $G$. We study the Poisson structure…

The standard Poisson structure on the rectangular matrix variety M_{m,n}(C) is investigated, via the orbits of symplectic leaves under the action of the maximal torus T of GL_{m+n}(C). These orbits, finite in number, are shown to be smooth…

This paper is the first part in a 2 part study of an elementary functorial construction from the category of finite non-abelian groups to a category of singular compact, oriented 2-manifolds. After a desingularization process this…

Mirkovi\'c--Vilonen (MV) polytopes play a key role in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups, while the geometric behavior of prime MV polytopes under Minkowski addition remains a subtle open problem. This paper focuses on…

We give a uniform, Lie-theoretic mirror symmetry construction for the Frobenius manifolds defined by Dubrovin-Zhang in arXiv:hep-th/9611200 on the orbit spaces of extended affine Weyl groups, including exceptional Dynkin types. The B-model…

In an earlier work, we proved that MV polytopes parameterize both Lusztig's canonical basis and the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles on the Affine Grassmannian. Each of these sets has a crystal structure (due to Kashiwara-Lusztig on the canonical…

Building sets were introduced in the study of wonderful compactifications of hyperplane arrangement complements and were later generalized to finite meet-semilattices. Convex geometries, the duals of antimatroids, offer a robust…

There exists a multiplicative homomorphism from the braid group B to the Temperley-Lieb algebra TL. Moreover, the homomorphic images in TL of the simple elements form a basis for the vector space underlying TL. In analogy with the case of…

We construct an explicit basis for the coordinate ring of the Bott-Samelson variety Z_i associated to G = GL(n) and an arbitrary sequence of simple reflections i. Our basis is parametrized by certain standard tableaux and generalizes the…

MV-algebras and Riesz MV-algebras are categorically equivalent to abelian lattice-ordered groups with strong unit and, respectively, with Riesz spaces (vector-lattices) with strong unit. A standard construction in the literature of…
