We give a criterion which determines when a union of one-dimensional Deligne-Lusztig varieties has a connected closure. We also obtain a new, short proof of the connectedness criterion for Deligne-Lusztig varieties due to Lusztig.

We prove some general results on the T-equivariant K-theory K_T(G/P) of the flag variety G/P, where G is a semisimple complex algebraic group, P is a parabolic subgroup and T$ is a maximal torus contained in P. In particular, we make a…

Let G be a nonlinear double cover of the real points of a connected reductive complex algebraic group with simply laced root system. We establish a uniform character multiplicity duality theory for the category of Harish-Chandra modules for…

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

We develop a general obstruction theory to the formality of algebraic structures over any commutative ground ring. It relies on the construction of Kaledin obstruction classes that faithfully detect the formality of differential graded…

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…

Enhancing and essentially generalizing previous results on a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave and elliptic equations, we apply several new techniques to classify admissible point transformations within this class up to the…

We study families of positive and completely positive maps acting on a bipartite system $\mathbb{C}^M\otimes \mathbb{C}^N$ (with $M\leq N$). The maps have a property that when applied to any state (of a given entanglement class) they result…

We study the nonnegative part B_{\ge 0} of the flag variety of a reductive algebraic group G, as defined by Lusztig. Using positivity properties of the canonical basis it is shown that B_{\ge 0} has an algebraic cell decomposition indexed…

We give a general notion of combinatory completeness with respect to a faithful cartesian club and use it systematically to obtain characterisations of a number of different kinds of applicative system. Each faithful cartesian club…

We first show that any connected algebraic group over a perfect field is the neutral component of the automorphism group scheme of some normal projective variety. Then we show that very few connected algebraic semigroups can be realized as…

In this paper, by considering the common points of two conics instead of the roots of the binary quartic form, we propose a novel necessary and sufficient condition for the positivity of a binary quartic form using the theory of the pencil…

We provide a partial classification of positive linear maps in matrix algebras which is based on a family of spectral conditions. This construction generalizes celebrated Choi example of a map which is positive but not completely positive.…

We prove that any triple of complete flags in $\mathbb R^d$ admits a common generating set of size $\lfloor 5d/3\rfloor$ and that this bound is sharp. This result extends the classical linear-algebraic fact -- a consequence of the Bruhat…

We consider rational varieties with a torus action of complexity one and extend the combinatorial approach via the Cox ring developed for the complete case in earlier work to the non-complete, e.g. affine, case. This includes in particular…

We introduce new classes of integrable models that exhibit a structure similar to that of flag vector spaces. We present their Hamiltonians, R-matrices and Bethe-ansatz solutions. These models have a new type of generalized graded algebra…

We introduce a new factorial function which agrees with the usual Euler gamma function at both the positive integers and at all half-integers, but which is also entire. We describe the basic features of this function.

We apply compact group theory to obtain some model-theoretic results about the relativized Lascar Galois group of a strong type.

We classify fully commutative elements in the affine Coxeter group of type $\tilde{A_{n}}$. We give a normal form for such elements, then we propose an application of this normal form: we lift these fully commutative elements to the affine…

In this paper, we prove that positivity of denominator vectors holds for any skew-symmetric cluster algebra.
