Given a finitely generated group G, the set Hom(G,SL_2 C) inherits the structure of an algebraic variety R(G)called the "representation variety" of G. This algebraic variety is an invariant of G. Let G_{pt}=< a, b; a^p= b^t>, where p, t are…

A non-degenerate toric variety $X$ is called $S$-homogeneous if the subgroup of the automorphism group $\text{Aut}(X)$ generated by root subgroups acts on $X$ transitively. We prove that maximal $S$-homogeneous toric varieties are in…

I discuss possible definitions of categories of vector spaces enriched with a notion of formal infinite linear combination in the likes of the formal infinite linear combinations one has in the context of generalized power series, I call…

Let n_d denote the degree d Veronese embedding of a projective space P^r. For any symmetric tensor P, the 'symmetric tensor rank' sr(P) is the minimal cardinality of a subset A of P^r, such that n_d(A) spans P. Let S(P) be the space of all…

Toric quiver varieties (moduli spaces of quiver representations) are studied. Given a quiver and a weight there is an associated quasiprojective toric variety together with a canonical embedding into projective space. It is shown that for a…
