We introduce the class of graded Lie-Rinehart algebras as a natural generalization of the one of graded Lie algebras. For $G$ an abelian group, we show that if $L$ is a tight $G$-graded Lie-Rinehart algebra over an associative and…

Left invariant affine structures in a Lie group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with left-symmetric algebras over its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=T_eG$ (``over'' means that the commutator $[x,y]=xy-yx$ coincides with the Lie bracket;…

A Schubert variety in the complete flag manifold $GL_n/B$ is Levi-spherical if the action of a Borel subgroup in a Levi subgroup of a standard parabolic has a dense orbit. We give a combinatorial classification of these Schubert varieties.…
