Every action of a finite group scheme $G$ on a variety admits a projective equivariant model, but not necessarily a normal one. As a remedy, we introduce and explore the notion of $G$-normalization. In particular, every curve equipped with…

We extend the methods of geometric invariant theory to actions of non--reductive groups in the case of homomorphisms between decomposable sheaves whose automorphism groups are non--reductive. Given a linearization of the natural action of…

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that…

Let G be a locally compact group, let X be a universal proper G-space, and let Z be a G-equivariant compactification of X that is H-equivariantly contractible for each compact subgroup H of G. Let W be the resulting boundary. Assuming the…

Let H\subset\GL(V) be a connected complex reductive group where V is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Let v\in V and let G=\{g\in\GL(V)\mid gHv = Hv\}. Following Ra\"is we say that the orbit Hv is \emph{characteristic for H} if…

Let X be an irreducible complex affine algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb{R}$, equipped with a faithful action of a finite group G, and let Y = X // G denote the categorical quotient with projection $\pi$. We study the geometry of the…

The main result asserts: Let $G$ be a reductive, affine algebraic group and let $(\rho ,V)$ be a regular representation of $G$. Let $X$ be an irreducible $\mathbb{C}^{ \times } G$ invariant Zariski closed subset such that $G$ has a closed…

Let $Y$ be an irreducible non-singular affine $G$-variety with a $2$-large action. We show that the Hamiltonian reduction $T^*Y/\!\!/\!\!/G$ is a symplectic variety with terminal singularities, isomorphic to the affine closure of…

Let $\G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a number field $K$, $\mathcal{S}$ a finite set of places of $K$, $K_\mathcal{S}$ the direct product of the completions $K_v, v \in \mathcal{S}$, and $\OO$ the ring of $\mathcal{S}$-integers of…

We introduce a version of algebraic $K$-theory for coefficient systems of rings which is valued in genuine $G$-spectra for a finite group $G$. We use this construction to build a genuine $G$-spectrum $K_G(\mathbb{Z}[\underline{\pi_1(X)}])$…

Fix a scheme $X$ over a field of characteristic zero that is equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a $G$-equivariant coherent sheaf on $X$ or a bounded-above complex of…

A graph $G$ covers a graph $H$ if there exists a locally bijective homomorphism from $G$ to $H$. We deal with regular coverings in which this homomorphism is prescribed by an action of a semiregular subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\textrm{Aut}(G)$;…

We construct a natural map from the set [BG,BU(n)] into a set of characters of the Sylow p-subgroups of G and prove that this natural map is a surjection for all finite groups G of rank two. We show, furthermore, that this same natural map…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group. In a previous paper, arxiv:1702.08264, is was shown that the dual group $G^\vee_X$ attached to a $G$-variety $X$ admits a natural homomorphism with finite kernel to the Langlands dual group $G^\vee$…

The purpose of this paper is to list the refined Humbert invariants for a given automorphism group of a curve $C/K$ of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field $K$ with characteristic $0$. This invariant is an algebraic generalization of…

This paper concerns with the graphical derivative of the normals to the conic constraint $g(x)\in\!K$, where $g\!:\mathbb{X}\to\mathbb{Y}$ is a twice continuously differentiable mapping and $K\subseteq\mathbb{Y}$ is a nonempty closed convex…

Let $G$ be the linear algebraic group $SL_3$ over a field $k$ of characteristic two. Let $A$ be a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra on which $G$ acts rationally by $k$-algebra automorphisms. We show that the full cohomology ring…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…
