We study in this paper the restricted roots for a class of spherical homogeneous spaces of semisimple groups which includes simply connected symmetric spaces. For these spaces we give a detailed description (case by case) of the set of…

We show that certain characteristic varieties of a finitely generated module over a given Weyl algebra arising from weighted degree filtrations are equal to the critical cone of some other characteristic varieties. This behaviour of the…

We adapt the generalization of root systems of the second author and H. Yamane to the terminology of category theory. We introduce Cartan schemes, associated root systems and Weyl groupoids. After some preliminary general results, we…

We list combinatorial criteria of some singularities, which appear in the Minimal Model Program or in the study of (singular) Fano varieties, for spherical varieties. Most of the results of this paper are already known or are quite easy…

In this talk, I report on three theorems concerning algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$. a) over a finite field of cardinal $q$, two proper smooth varieties which are geometrically birational have the same number of…

Four types of discrete transforms of Weyl orbit functions on the finite point sets are developed. The point sets are formed by intersections of the dual-root lattices with the fundamental domains of the affine Weyl groups. The finite sets…

In the present paper we further the study of the compression cone of a real spherical homogeneous space $Z=G/H$. In particular we provide a geometric construction of the little Weyl group of $Z$ introduced recently by Knop and Kr\"otz. Our…

The Weyl algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ is a simple ring of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2, which has a grading by the group of integers. We classify all $\mathbb{Z}$-graded simple rings of GK-dimension 2 and show that they…

We extend the classification of finite Weyl groupoids of rank two. Then we generalize these Weyl groupoids to `reflection groupoids' by admitting non-integral entries of the Cartan matrices. This leads to the unexpected observation that the…

Over fields of arbitrary characteristic we classify all rank three Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a finite root system. Our proof uses the classification of the finite Weyl groupoids of rank three.

The description of irreducible representations of a group G can be seen as a question in harmonic analysis; namely, decomposing a suitable space of functions on G into irreducibles for the action of G x G by left and right multiplication.…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with residue field of characteristic p>0. Let K be its fraction field. We prove that any finite and flat R-group scheme, isomorphic to \mu_{p^2,K} on the generic fiber, is the kernel in a short exact…

Let C be the centralizer in a finite Weyl group of an elementary abelian 2-subgroup. We show that every complex representation of C can be realized over the field of rational numbers. The same holds for a Sylow 2-subgroup of C.

We give a definition of the notion of spherical varieties in the world of complex supervarieties with actions of algebraic supergroups. A characterization of affine spherical supervarieties is given which generalizes a characterization in…
