In this article, we investigate the geometry of reductive group actions on algebraic varieties. Given a connected reductive group $G$, we elaborate on a geometric and combinatorial approach based on Luna-Vust theory to describe every normal…

Polynomial sequence ${P_m}_{m\geq0}$ is $q$-logarithmically concave if $P_{m}^2-P_{m+1}P_{m-1}$ is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients for any $m\geq{1}$. We introduce an analogue of this notion for formal power series whose…

Consider a smooth projective curve and a given embedding into projective space via a sufficiently positive line bundle. We can form the secant variety of $k$-planes through the curve. These are singular varieties, with each secant variety…

Let $V$ be a projective variety defined over a number field $K$, let $S$ be a polarized set of endomorphisms of $V$ all defined over $K$, and let $P\in V(K)$. For each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$, let $m_{\mathfrak{p}}(S,P)$ denote the…

We introduce the new notion of general bilinear forms (generalizing sesquilinear forms) and prove that for every ring $R$ (not necessarily commutative, possibly without involution) and every right $R$-module $M$ which is a generator (i.e.…

We prove that, on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, the semiregularity map annihilates every obstruction to embedded deformations of a local complete intersection subvariety with extendable…

Splitting invariants describe how a plane curve "splits" by the pull-back under a Galois cover over the projective plane whose branch locus contains no component of the plane curve. They enable us to distinguish the embedded topology of…

In this note we answer to a frequently asked question. If G is an algebraic group acting on a variety V, a G-sheet of V is an irreducible component of V^(m), the set of elements of V whose G-orbit has dimension m. We focus on the case of…

We prove a reduced version of the Chevalley restriction conjecture on the commuting scheme posed by T.H. Chen and B.C. Ng\^o, extending the results of Hunziker for classical groups. In particular, we prove that for any connected reductive…

Let $m>1$ be an integer, and let $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$ be the set of all non-zero proper ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$. The intersection graph of ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$, denoted by $G(\mathbb{Z}_m)$, is a graph with vertices $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$…

Let $K$ be a field and let $R$ be a regular domain containing $K$. Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of the group of automorphisms of $R$. We assume that $|G|$ is invertible in $K$. Let $R^G$ be the ring of invariants of $G$. Let $I$ be an ideal…

We introduce some braided varieties -- braided orbits -- by considering quotients of the so-called Reflection Equation Algebras associated with Hecke symmetries (i.e. special type solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation). Such a…

Let $m, n > 1$ be two integers, and $\mathbb{Z}_n$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_m$-module. Let $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$ be the set of all non- zero proper ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$. The $\mathbb{Z}_n$-intersection graph of $\mathbb{Z}_m$, denoted by…

Let $R$ be an algebra over a ring $\Bbbk$, $T$ an $R$-algebra, $M$ a finitely generated projective $R$-module, and $N$ a $T$-module. Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group scheme over $\Bbbk$ equipped with a representation…

Invariant notions of a class of Segre varieties $\Segrem(2)$ of PG(2^m - 1, 2) that are direct products of $m$ copies of PG(1, 2), $m$ being any positive integer, are established and studied. We first demonstrate that there exists a…

Let M be a U(1) bundle over a smooth Riemann surface. I show that for Chern-Simons theory on M, with structure group G, the path integral is an integral over the space of G-connections on the Riemann surface involving characteristic classes…

Let R be a local complete ring. For an R-module M the canonical ring map R\to End_R(M) is in general neither injective nor surjective; we show that it is bijective for every local cohomology module M := H^h_I(R) if H^l_I(R) = 0 for every…

Let E be a rank two vector bundle on a scheme X. The following three structures are shown to be equivalent : a) A primitive quadratic map q: E --> L, with values in an invertible module L. b) A double covering f: Y --> X endowed with an…

Let the finite group $G$ act linearly on the vector space $V$ over the field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. If $H<G$ is a subgroup the extension of invariant rings $k[V]^G\subset k[V]^H$ is studied using modules of covariants. An example…

In previous papers it was shown that the left and right O-module structure of the jet bundles on the projective line differed. In this paper we show that similar statements hold for jet bundles on projective space in any dimension. We also…
