Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we compute the cohomology of the subalgebra A(2) of the motivic Steenrod algebra that is generated by Sq^1, Sq^2, and Sq^4. The method of calculation is a motivic version of…

If $G$ is a finite group or a torus, it is known that there is an isomorphism between the Grothendieck group of homotopy representations and that of generalized homotopy representations for $G$. We prove that there is such an isomorphism…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\ge 0$. Let $G$ be an affine group scheme over $k$. We classify the indecomposable exact module categories over the rigid tensor category $\text{Coh}_f(G)$ of coherent sheaves of…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra. Its unitary group, $UA$, contains a wealth of topological information about $A$. However, the homotopy type of $UA$ is out of reach even for $A = M_2(\CC)$. There are two simplifications which have been…

For a linear algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$, we define an equivariant version of the Voevodsky's motivic cobordism $MGL$. We show that this is an oriented cohomology theory with localization sequence on the category of smooth…

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…

This paper is the first in a series that describe a conjectural analog of the geometric Satake isomorphism for an affine Kac-Moody group. In this paper we construct a model for the singularities of some would-be Schubert varieties in the…

We show that the Gromov width of the Grassmannian of complex k-planes in C^n is equal to one when the symplectic form is normalized so that it generates the integral cohomology in degree 2. We deduce the lower bound from more general…

For any complex affine reductive group G and a fixed choice of maximal compact subgroup K, we show that the G-character variety of a free group strongly deformation retracts to the corresponding K-character space, which is a real…

For any base field and integer $l$ invertible in $k$, we prove that $\Omega^\infty_{\mathbb{G}_m}$ and $\Omega^\infty_{\mathbb{P}^1}$ commute with hyper \'etale sheafification $L_{\acute{e}t}$ and Betti realization through infinite loop…

We show that algebraic K-theory KGL, the motivic Adams summand ML and their connective covers acquire unique E-infinity structures refining naive multiplicative structures in the motivic stable homotopy category. The proofs combine…

These lecture notes cover four topics. There is a proof of the fact that the functors represented by the motivic Eilenberg-Maclane spaces on the motivic homotopy category coincide with the motivic cohomology defined in terms of the motivic…

We study the torus-equivariant homology $H_*^T(\mathrm{Gr}_G)$ of the affine Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}_G$, where $G=\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ is the symplectic group. This homology admits a natural ring structure and a Schubert basis,…

We compute the $v_1$-periodic $\mathbb{R}$-motivic stable homotopy groups. The main tool is the effective slice spectral sequence. Along the way, we also analyze $\mathbb{C}$-motivic and $\eta$-periodic $v_1$-periodic homotopy from the same…

We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…

Let F be a local field. The action of GL(n,F) on the Grassmann variety Gr(m,n,F) induces a continuous representation of the maximal compact subgroup of GL(n,F) on the space of L^2-functions on Gr(m,n,F). The irreducible constituents of this…

Let $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group, $G\cong{\mathbb F}_p^r$ and let $s_1,\ldots,s_r$ be a basis of $G$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$. Let $V$ be the dual of $G$, $V={\rm Hom}(G,{\mathbb F}_p)=H^1(G,{\mathbb F}_p)$. Let $x_1,\ldots,x_r$ be…

Let $k,l,m,n$ be positive integers such that $m-l\ge l>k, m-l>n-k\ge k$ and $m-l>2k^2-k-1$. Let $G_{k}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ denote the Grassmann manifold of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces of $\bc^n$. We show that any continuous map…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…
