Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. On $X$ there is a special morphism $Fr_X$, which raises coordinates to exponent $q$: $t\mapsto t^q$. The two main results in this paper are: Result 1: If…
We use the G-invariant non-degenerate form on the Steinberg module to Frobenius split the cotangent bundle of a flag variety in good prime characteristics. This was previously only known for the general linear group. Applications are a…
For a given flag variety, we characterize the primes $p$ for which there exists a weight $\lambda$ such that the Hard Lefschetz Theorem holds for multiplication by $\lambda$ on the cohomology of the flag variety with coefficients in an…
We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…
We consider the following conjecture: if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic zero, then there is a dense set of reductions X_s to positive characteristic such that the action of the Frobenius morphism on the top…
Foulkes' conjecture has several generalisations due to Doran, Abdesselam--Chipalkatti, Bergeron, and Troyka. For the special linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$, these assert that given $a \le c \le d \le b$ with $ab=cd$, the…
Colmez conjectured a formula relating the Faltings height of CM abelian varieties to a certain linear combination of log derivatives of $L$-functions. In this paper, we study the case of unitary CM fields and by studying the class functions…
We define a module that is an extension of the diagonal harmonics and whose graded Frobenius characteristic is conjectured to be the symmetric function expression which appears in `the Delta conjecture' of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson…
PBW degenerations are a particularly nice family of flat degenerations of type A flag varieties. We show that the cohomology of any PBW degeneration of the flag variety surjects onto the cohomology of the original flag variety, and that…
In this paper we study a key example of a Hermitian symmetric space and a natural associated double flag variety, namely for the real symplectic group $G$ and the symmetric subgroup $L$, the Levi part of the Siegel parabolic $P_S$. We give…
We prove Gamma conjecture I for all flag varieties by following a strategy proposed by Galkin and Iritani. The main new ingredient is showing that the totally positive part of the Rietsch mirror is mirror to the $\widehat{\Gamma}$-class and…
We introduce a cohomology theory for a class of projective varieties over a finite field coming from the canonical trace on a C*-algebra attached to the variety. Using the cohomology, we prove the rationality, functional equation and the…
Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry predicts isomorphisms between graded Frobenius algebras (denoted $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$) that are constructed from a nondegenerate quasihomogeneous polynomial $W$ and a related group of symmetries…
This paper is about sheaf cohomology for varieties (schemes) in characteristic $p>0$. We assume the presence of a Frobenius splitting. (See V.B. Mehta and A. Ramanathan, Frobenius splitting and cohomology vanishing for Schubert varieties,…
Let $G/P$ be a generalized flag variety, where $G$ is a complex semisimple connected Lie group and $P\subset G$ a parabolic subgroup. Let also $X\subset G/P$ be a Schubert variety. We consider the canonical embedding of $X$ into a…
We prove that the duals of the quantum Frobenius morphisms and their splittings by Lusztig are compatible with quantum cluster monomials. After specialisation, we deduce that the canonical Frobenius splittings on flag varieties are…
We compute the coherent cohomology of the structure sheaf of complex periplectic Grassmannians. In particular, we show that it can be decomposed as a tensor product of the singular cohomology ring of a Grassmannian for either the symplectic…
We consider a complete nonsingular variety $X$ over $\bC$, having a normal crossing divisor $D$ such that the associated logarithmic tangent bundle is generated by its global sections. We show that $H^i\big(X, L^{-1} \otimes \Omega_X^j(\log…
We give an explicit combinatorial description of the irreducible components of the singular locus of a Schubert variety in a flag variety of type A. This implies a conjecture of Lakshmibai and Sandhya.
Let M be the Shimura variety associated with the group of spinor similitudes of a rational quadratic space over of signature (n,2). We prove a conjecture of Bruinier-Kudla-Yang, relating the arithmetic intersection multiplicities of special…
