By an additive action on a hypersurface H in the projective space P^{n+1} we mean an effective action of a commutative unipotent group on P^{n+1} which leaves H invariant and acts on H with an open orbit. Brendan Hassett and Yuri Tschinkel…
The aim of this work is to study the quotients for the diagonal action of SL_3(C) on the product of n-fold of \mathbb{P}^2(C): we are interested in describing how the quotient changes when we vary the polarization (i.e. the choice of an…
We study locally transitive actions of the commutative unipotent group $\Gan$ on a nondegenerate quadric in the projective space $\P^{n+1}$. It is shown that for each $n$ such an action is unique up to isomorphism.
We construct the most general local effective actions for Goldstone boson fields associated with spontaneous symmetry breakdown from a group $G$ to a subgroup $H$. In a preceding paper, it was shown that any $G$-invariant term in the…
It is shown that the correct mathematical implementation of symmetry in the geometric formulation of classical field theory leads naturally beyond the concept of Lie groups and their actions on manifolds, out into the realm of Lie group…
The characterization of the DBI action of a Dp-brane using the generalized geometry is discussed. It is shown that the DBI action is invariant under the diffeomorphism and B-transformation of the generalized tangent bundle of the target…
Geometric Invariant Theory gives a method for constructing quotients for group actions on algebraic varieties which in many cases appear as moduli spaces parametrizing isomorphism classes of geometric objects (vector bundles, polarized…
Based on the geometric interpretation of the Dirac equation as an evolution equation on the three-dimensional exterior bundle /(R^3), we propose the bundle (T x / x /)(R^3) as a geometric interpretation of all standard model fermions. The…
Let X be a projective complex 3-fold, quasihomogeneous with respect to an action of a linear algebraic group. We show that X is a compactification of SL_2/G, G a discrete subgroup, or that X can be equivariantly transformed into the 3-dim.…
Pachner move 3 ->3 deals with triangulations of four-dimensional manifolds. We present an algebraic relation corresponding in a natural way to this move and based, a bit paradoxically, on three-dimensional geometry.
An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…
Let $G$ be a symplectic or special orthogonal group, let $H$ be a connected reductive subgroup of $G$, and let $X$ be a flag variety of $G$. We classify all triples $(G,H,X)$ such that the natural action of $H$ on $X$ is spherical. For each…
We study properties of irreducible and completely reducible representations of finitely generated groups Gamma into reductive algebraic groups G in in the context of the geometric invariant theory of the G-action on Hom(Gamma,G) by…
Let $G$ be an algebraic group and $\Gamma$ a finite subgroup of automorphisms of $G$. Fix also a possibly ramified $\Gamma$-covering $\widetilde{X} \to X$. In this setting one may define the notion of $(\Gamma,G)$-bundles over…
We prove that a group $\Gamma$ admits a discrete topological (equivalently, smooth) action on some simply-connected 3-manifold if and only if $\Gamma$ has a Cayley complex embeddable -- with certain natural restrictions -- in one of the…
The study of invariants of group actions on commutative polynomial rings has motivated many developments in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. It has been of particular interest to understand what conditions on the group result in…
We propose a generalisation of the notion of associated bundles to a principal bundle constructed via group action cocycles rather than via mere representations of the structure group. We devise a notion of connection generalising Ehresmann…
We consider pairs (V,H) of subgroups of a connected unipotent complex Lie group G for which the induced VxH-action on G by multiplication from the left and from the right is free. We prove that this action is proper if the Lie algebra g of…
A K3 surface $X$ over a $p$-adic field $K$ is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the ring of integers of $K$. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is extendable if $X$ admits a…
Every action of a finite group scheme $G$ on a variety admits a projective equivariant model, but not necessarily a normal one. As a remedy, we introduce and explore the notion of $G$-normalization. In particular, every curve equipped with…
