On June 5, 2007 the second author delivered a talk at the Journees de l'Institut Elie Cartan entitled "Finite symmetry groups in complex geometry". This paper begins with an expanded version of that talk which, in the spirit of the…
By modifying the method in [KNO], certain affine geometric crystals are realized in affinization of the fundamental representation $W(\varpi_1)_l$ and the tropical R maps for the affine geometric crystals are described explicitly. We also…
Chapters 1 to 4 are the lecture notes of my course "Real Algebraic Geometry I" from the winter term 2020/2021. Chapters 5 to 8 are the lecture notes of its continuation "Real Algebraic Geometry II" from the summer term 2021. Chapters 9 and…
The tableau model for Kirillov-Reshetikhin (KR) crystals, which are finite dimensional crystals corresponding to certain affine Lie algebras, is commonly used for its ease of crystal operator calculations. However, its simplicity makes…
We develop a rigorous framework for modelling the geometry equilibration of crystalline defects. We formulate the equilibration of crystal defects as a variational problems on a discrete energy space and establish qualitatively sharp…
In crystallography, a structure is typically represented by the arrangement of atoms in the direct space. Furthermore, space group symmetry and Wyckoff site notations are applied to characterize crystal structures with only a few variables.…
We present a uniform construction of level 1 perfect crystals $\mathcal B$ for all affine Lie algebras. We also introduce the notion of a crystal algebra and give an explicit description of its multiplication. This allows us to determine…
This is a write-up of some lectures I gave in the Fall of 2021 at the Fields Institute in Toronto, as part of the Thematic Programme on Trends in Pure and Applied Model Theory. The goal of the module was to give a quick introduction to the…
In this paper, we give a new realization of crystal bases for irreducible highest weight modules over $U_q(G_2)$ in terms of monomials. We also discuss the natural connection between the monomial realization and tableau realization.
This paper shows how beginning with Justus Grassmann's work, Hermann Grassmann was influenced in his mathematical thinking by crystallography. H. Grassmann's Ausdehnungslehre in turn had a decisive influence on W.K. Clifford in the genesis…
Awfully idiosyncratic lecture notes from CMI summer school in arithmetic geometry July 31-August 4, 2006. Does not include: rationality problems, techniques of the minimal model problem and much of the rest. Includes: Lecture 0: geometry…
These are notes for a minicourse on Hall algebras given at the ICTP in Trieste in January 2006. After giving the definition and first properties of Hall algebras, we study in some details the classical Hall algebra, the Hall algebra of…
We shall describe explicitly the decoration functions for certain decorated geometric crystals of classical groups and we shall show that they are represented in terms of monomial realizations of crystal bases.
In [Frieden, arXiv:1706.02844], we constructed a geometric crystal on the variety $\mathbb{X}_{k} := {\rm Gr}(k,n) \times \mathbb{C}^\times$ which tropicalizes to the affine crystal structure on rectangular tableaux with $n-k$ rows. In this…
These are the notes for a course on representations of quivers for second year students in Paderborn in summer 2007. My aim was to provide a basic introduction without using any advanced methods. It turns out that a good knowledge of linear…
The quasi-independent curvilinear coordinate approximation (QUICCA) method [K. N\'emeth and M. Challacombe, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 121}, 2877, (2004)] is extended to the optimization of crystal structures. We demonstrate that QUICCA is valid…
We construct a large class of examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon by expoiting the representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras. Let $M$ be a finite dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra and let $B$ be the…
This contribution discusses the geometry of $k$D crystal cells given by $(k+1)$ points in a projective space $\R^{n+1}$. We show how the concepts of barycentric and fractional (crystallographic) coordinates, reciprocal vectors and dual…
We introduce fractional realizations of a graph degree sequence and a closely associated convex polytope. Simple graph realizations correspond to a subset of the vertices of this polytope. We describe properties of the polytope vertices and…
This is a survey article on real algebra and geometry, and in particular on its recent applications in optimization and convexity. We first introduce basic notions and results from the classical theory. We then explain how these relate to…
