Let A be a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. We characterize the finite dimensional modules over A whose orbit closures are regular varieties.

Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3, we calculate the orbit closures in the Witt algebra W under the action of its automorphism group G. We also outline how the same techniques can be used to determine…

The equivariant Hilbert series of an ideal generated by an orbit of a monomial under the action of the monoid $\mbox{Inc}(\mathbb{N})$ of strictly increasing functions is determined. This is used to find the dimension and degree of such an…

We describe the closures of locally divergent orbitsunder the action of tori on Hilbert modular spaces of rank r = 2. In particular, we prove that if D is a maximal R-split torus acting on a real Hilbert modular space then every locally…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$, good for the root system of $G$. The closures of $G$-orbits in the Hilbert nullcone of the coadjoint representation are conical affine Poisson…

Let $R=K[[x_1,...,x_s]]$ be the ring of formal power series with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ over a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. On the ring $M_{m,n}$ of $m\times n$ matrices $A$ with entries in $R$ we consider several…

Suppose that G is a finite, unitary reflection group acting on a complex vector space V and X is the fixed point subspace of an element of G. Define N to be the setwise stabilizer of X in G, Z to be the pointwise stabilizer, and C=N/Z. Then…

Let F be the flag variety of a complex semi-simple group G, let H be an algebraic subgroup of G acting on F with finitely many orbits, and let V be an H-orbit closure in F. Expanding the cohomology class of V in the basis of Schubert…

Let $G:= (C^*)^k\times SL_2(C)$ act linearly on a vector space or its projectivisation. We obtain an effective criterion to detect whether a number of orbits in an orbit-closure is finite or not.

Some aspects of phase transitions can be more conveniently studied in the orbit space of the action of the symmetry group. After a brief review of the fundamental ideas of this approach, I shall concentrate on the mathematical aspect and…

Let $\mathcal G_2$ denote the affine group $GL(2,\mathbb Z) \ltimes \mathbb Z^{2}$. For every point $x=(x_1,x_2) \in \R2$ let $\orb(x)=\{y\in\R2\mid y=\gamma(x)$ for some $\gamma \in \mathcal{G}_2 \}$. Let $G_{x}$ be the subgroup of the…

We consider matrices with entries in a local ring, Mat(m,n,R). Fix a group action, G on Mat(m,n,R), and a subset of allowed deformations, \Sigma\subseteq Mat(m,n,R). The standard question of Singularity Theory is the…

An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…

Semiclassical sum rules, such as the Gutzwiller trace formula, depend on the properties of periodic, closed, or homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbits. The interferences embedded in such orbit sums are governed by classical action functions and…

The Coulomb branches of certain 3-dimensional N=4 quiver gauge theories are closures of nilpotent orbits of classical or exceptional algebras. The monopole formula, as Hilbert series of the associated Coulomb branch chiral ring, has been…

An important step in the calculation of the triply graded link homology theory of Khovanov and Rozansky is the determination of the Hochschild homology of Soergel bimodules for SL(n). We present a geometric model for this Hochschild…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

Let G be a group of permutations of a denumerable set E. The profile of G is the function phi which counts, for each n, the number phi(n) of orbits of G acting on the n-subsets of E. Counting functions arising this way, and their associated…

We study orbit configuration spaces $\mathrm{Cf}_G(n,\mathbb{P}^1_*)$ obtained from the action of a finite homography group $G$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We construct a flat connection on the orbit space with values in a Lie algebra…
