Let $\mathbb{F}G$ denote the group algebra of the group $G$ over the field $\mathbb{F}$ with $char(\mathbb{F})\neq 2$. Given both a homomorphism $\sigma:G\rightarrow \{\pm1\}$ and a group involution $\ast: G\rightarrow G$, an oriented…

Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group acting on a smooth complete complex algebraic variety X. We assume that X under the action of G is a regular embedding, a condition satisfied in particular by smooth toric varieties and…

Let $G$ be a group. A function $G\rightarrow G$ of the form $x\mapsto x^{\alpha}g$ for a fixed automorphism $\alpha$ of $G$ and a fixed $g\in G$ is called an affine map of $G$. In this paper, we study finite groups $G$ with an affine map of…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…

We determine, under a certain assumption, the Alexeev-Brion moduli scheme M_S of affine spherical G-varieties with a prescribed weight monoid S. In [ arXiv:1008.0911 ] we showed that if G is a connected complex reductive group of type A and…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $G$ be a non-trivial connected unipotent group, which acts effectively on an affine variety $X.$ Then every non-empty component $R$ of the set of fixed points of $G$ is a $K$-uniruled variety,…

We give a complete classification of smooth quotients of abelian varieties by finite groups that fix the origin. In the particular case where the action of the group $G$ on the tangent space at the origin of the abelian variety $A$ is…

We study the property of a normal scheme, that the complement of every hypersurface is an affine scheme. To this end we introduce the affine class group. It is a factor group of the divisor class group and measures the deviation from this…

Following Serre's initial work, a number of authors have considered twists of quadratic forms on a scheme Y by torsors of a finite group G, together with formulas for the Hasse-Witt invariants of the twisted form. In this paper we take the…

We prove the Effros-Hahn conjecture for groupoid algebras with coefficients in a sheaf, obtaining as a consequence a description of the ideals in skew inverse semigroup rings. We also use the description of the ideals to characterize when…
