We study cocycle twists of a 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebra $A$ and a factor ring $B$ which is a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring. Twisting such algebras by the Klein four-group $G$, we show that the twists $A^{G,\mu}$ and $B^{G,\mu}$…

Let $X$ be a spherical variety for a connected reductive group $G$. Work of Gaitsgory-Nadler strongly suggests that the Langlands dual group $G^\vee$ of $G$ has a subgroup whose Weyl group is the little Weyl group of $X$.…

Let G be a connected simply-connected reductive algebraic group. In this article, we consider the normal algebraic varieties equipped with a horospherical G-action such that the quotient of a G-stable open subset is a curve. Let X be such a…

We define linear degenerations of Schubert varieties via a special class of quiver Grassmannians. To do so, we restrict our study to an appropriate subvariety in the variety of representations of the considered quiver and describe a base…

This article is devoted to the investigation of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Cohomologies of wrap groups…

We show that if G is a finite group whose commutator subgroup [G,G] has order 2p, where p is an odd prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle.

We provide two alternate settings for a family of varieties modeling the uniserial representations with fixed sequence of composition factors over a finite dimensional algebra. The first is a quasi-projective subvariety of a Grassmannian…

A Riemannian manifold is called a geodesic orbit manifolds, GO for short, if any geodesic is an orbit of a one-parameter group of isometries. By a result of C.Gordon, a non-flat GO nilmanifold is necessarily a two-step nilpotent Lie group…

We classify, up to isomorphism, the 2-dimensional algebras over a field K. We focuse also on the case of characteristic 2, identifying the matrices of GL(2,F_2) with the elements of the symmetric group S_3. The classification is then given…

Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…

This thesis studies the symplectic structure of holomorphic coadjoint orbits, and their projections. A holomorphic coadjoint orbit O is an elliptic coadjoint orbit which is endowed with a natural invariant K\"ahlerian structure. These…

Geodesic orbit manifolds (or g.o. manifolds) are those Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ whose geodesics are integral curves of Killing vector fields. Equivalently, there exists a Lie group $G$ of isometries of $(M,g)$ such that any geodesic…

In this paper we study general hyperplane sections of adjoint and coadjoint varieties. We show that these are the only sections of homogeneous varieties such that a maximal torus of the automorphism group of the ambient variety stabilizes…

A convexity theorem for certain G-orbits in a complexified Riemannian symmetric space G_C/K_C is proved. Applications to analytically continued spherical functions will be given.

We prove that the open subvariety $\operatorname{Gr}_0(3,8)$ of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(3,8)$ determined by the nonvanishing of all Pl\"ucker coordinates is sch\"on, i.e., all of its initial degenerations are smooth.…

Let $ G $ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $ \mathbb{R} $, and $ H $ its symmetric subgroup. For parabolic subgroups $ P_{G} \subset G $ and $ P_{H} \subset H $, the product of flag varieties $ \mathfrak{X} = H/P_H \times G/P_G…

The quaternionic Grassmannian HGr(r,n) is the affine open subscheme of the ordinary Grassmannian parametrizing those 2r-dimensional subspaces of a 2n-dimensional symplectic vector space on which the symplectic form is nondegenerate. In…

We present some observations on a restricted variant of unitary Cayley graphs modulo n, and the implications for a decomposition of elements of symplectic operators over the integers modulo n. We define quadratic unitary Cayley graphs G_n,…

We study projective homogeneous varieties under an action of a projective unitary group (of outer type). We are especially interested in the case of (unitary) grassmannians of totally isotropic subspaces of a hermitian form over a field,…

In this paper, we treat an open problem related to the number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed symplectic manifolds, so-called generic Conley conjecture. Generic Conley conjecture states that generically…
