The G-function associated to the semi-simple Frobenius manifold C^n/W (where W is a Coxeter group or an extended affine Weyl group) is studied. The general form of the G function is given in terms of a logarithmic singularity over caustics…

Let W be an Iwahori-Weyl group of a connected reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. I prove that if w is an element of W that does not act on the corresponding apartment of G by a translation then one can apply to w a…

An element of a Coxeter group $W$ is called fully commutative if any two of its reduced decompositions can be related by a series of transpositions of adjacent commuting generators. In the preprint "Fully commutative elements in finite and…

The problem of interpreting a set of ${\cal W}$-algebra constraints constructed in terms of an arbitrarily twisted scalar field as the recursion relations of a topological theory is addressed. In this picture, the conventional models of…

Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group with Weyl group $W$. We give a formula for the character of $W$ on the zero weight space of any finite dimensional representation of $G$. The formula involves partition functions, generalizing Kostant's…

We define the affine VW supercategory $\mathit{s}\hspace{-0.7mm}\bigvee\mkern-15mu\bigvee$, which arises from studying the action of the periplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}(n)$ on the tensor product $M\otimes V^{\otimes a}$ of an…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, $S$ finite, and let $G_{W}$ be the associated Artin group. One has configuration spaces $Y,\ Y_{W},$ where $G_{W}=\pi_1(Y_{W}),$ and a natural $W$-covering $f_{W}:\ Y\to Y_{W}.$ The Schwarz genus $g(f_{W})$…

In this paper, we study affine Deligne--Lusztig varieties $X_w(b)$ when the finite part of the element $w$ in the Iwahori--Weyl group is a partial $\sigma$-Coxeter element. We show that such $w$ is a cordial element and $X_w(b) \neq…

With a nilpotent element in a semisimple Lie algebra g one associates a finitely generated associative algebra W called a W-algebra of finite type. This algebra is obtained from the universal enveloping algebra U(g) by a certain Hamiltonian…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $Fl$ be the affine flag variety of $G$. For every regular semisimple element $\gamma$ of $G(k((t)))$, the affine Springer fiber $Fl_{\gamma}$ can be…

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group over a non-archimedean local field $F$. Let $\breve F$ be the completion of the maximal unramified extension of $F$ contained in a separable closure $F_s$. In this article, we construct a Tits group…

We analyse in a systematic way the (non-)compact n-dimensional Einstein Weyl spaces equipped with a cohomogeneity-one metric. With no compactness hypothesis, we prove that, as soon as the (n-1)-dimensional space is an homogeneous reductive…

A result of A. Joseph says that any nilpotent or semisimple element $z$ in the Weyl algebra $A_1$ over some algebracally closed field $K$ of characterstic 0 has a normal form up to the action of the automorphism group of $A_1$. It is shown…

Lusztig varieties are subvarieties in flag manifolds $G/B$ associated to an element $w$ in the Weyl group $W$ and an element $x$ in $G$, introduced in Lusztig's papers on character sheaves. We study the geometry of these varieties when $x$…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and suppose that $w \in W$ is fully commutative (in the sense of Stembridge) and has a reduced expression beginning (respectively, ending) with $s \in S$. If there exists $t\in S$ such that $s$ and $t$ do not…

We suggest new realizations of quantum groups corresponding to complex simple Lie algebras, and of affine quantum groups. These new realizations are labeled by Coxeter elements of the corresponding Weyl group and have the following key…

A localized quantum unipotent coordinate category $\widetilde{\mathscr{C}_w}$ associated with a Weyl group element $w$ is a rigid monoidal category which is obtained by applying the localization process to a subcategory of the category of…

In these notes we construct a quantization functor, associating an Hilbert space H(V) to a finite dimensional symplectic vector space V over a finite field F_q. As a result, we obtain a canonical model for the Weil representation of the…

We prove that the Deligne-Lusztig variety associated to minimal length elements in any $\d$-conjugacy class of the Weyl group is affine, which was conjectured by Orlik and Rapoport in \cite{OR}.
