We define the notion of a separable element in a finite Weyl group, generalizing the well-studied class of separable permutations. We prove that the upper and lower order ideals in weak Bruhat order generated by a separable element are…

Given a grading on a nonassociative algebra by an abelian group, we have two subgroups of automorphisms attached to it: the automorphisms that stabilize each homogeneous component (as a subspace) and the automorphisms that permute the…

We identify the algebra of matrix elements of big projective modules in category O with the regular functions on the big Bruhat cell of G. Analogous extensions of the regular representations of the affine Lie and Virasoro algebras yield…

Let G be a quasi simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k whose characteristic is not very bad for G, and let B be a Borel subgroup of G with Lie algebra b. Given a B-stable abelian subalgebra a of the nilradical of b, we…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero and $X/K$ a smooth projective variety. Fix $q\in\mathbb{N}$. For every prime number $\ell$ let $\rho_\ell$ be the representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(K)$ on the \'etale…

For a finite smooth algebraic group $F$ over a field $k$ and a smooth algebraic group $\bar G$ over the separable closure of $k$, we define the notion of $F$-kernel in $\bar G$ and we associate to it a set of nonabelian 2-cohomology. We use…

By Tits' deformation argument, a generic Iwahori--Hecke algebra $H$ associated to a finite Coxeter group $W$ is abstractly isomorphic to the group algebra of $W$. Lusztig has shown how one can construct an explicit isomorphism, provided…

The famous Bloch--Kato conjecture implies that for a field $F$ containing a primitive $p$th root of unity, the cohomology ring of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ of $F$ with $\mathbb{F}_p$ coefficients is generated by degree one elements.…

We discuss a surprising relationship between the partially ordered set of Newton points associated to an affine Schubert cell and the quantum cohomology of the complex flag variety. The main theorem provides a combinatorial formula for the…

We investigate Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications by means of Berkovich analytic geometry over complete non-Archimedean fields. For every reductive group G over a suitable non-Archimedean field k we define a map from the…

Let G be a discrete group. We give methods to compute for a generalized (co-)homology theory its values on the Borel construction (EG x X)/G of a proper G-CW-complex X satisfying certain finiteness conditions. In particular we give formulas…

We describe how each finite dimensional Schubert cell in the affine flag variety of $\text{SL}_2$ decomposes into orbits for a chain of subgroups of codimension one to four of the Iwahori group.

In [Inventiones mathematicae, 184 (2011)], Vollaard and Wedhorn defined a stratification on the special fiber of the unitary unramified PEL Rapoport-Zink space with signature $(1,n-1)$. They constructed an isomorphism between the closure of…

A Gelfand model for an algebra is a module given by a direct sum of irreducible submodules, with every isomorphism class of irreducible modules represented exactly once. We introduce the notion of a perfect model for a finite Coxeter group,…

Let $V$ be a plane smooth cubic curve over a finitely generated field $k.$ The Mordell-Weil theorem for $V$ states that there is a finite subset $P\subset V(k)$ such that the whole $V(k)$ can be obtained from $P$ by drawing secants and…

We prove the following result related to the inverse problem for universal deformation rings of group representations: Given a finite field k, denote by W(k) the ring of Witt vectors over k and by K the field of fractions of W(k). If a…

Suppose $F$ is a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $G$ is the group of $F$-points of a split, connected, reductive group over $F$. Under a natural restriction on $p$, we determine the structure of the graded mod $p$ Iwasawa…

Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V…

We introduce and study a family of operators which act in the span of a Weyl group $W$ and provide a multi-parameter solution to the quantum Yang-Baxter equations of the corresponding type. Our operators generalize the "quantum Bruhat…

We apply the Fixed Point Theorem for the actions of finite groups on Bruhat-Tits buildings and their products to establish two results concerning the groups of points of reductive algebraic groups over polynomial rings in one variable,…
