The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, forms a poset. This paper presents the first explicit major results on the topology of intervals in this poset. We show that almost all (open) intervals in this poset have a…
In "Hopf algebra of the planar binary trees", Adv. Math. 139 (1998), no. 2, 293--309, we constructed by induction a graded associative product on the vector space generated by the planar binary trees (resp. the permutations). In the present…
Let G be the group preserving a nondegenerate sesquilinear form on a vector space V, and H a symmetric subgroup of G of the type G1 x G2. We explicitly parameterize the H-orbits in the Grassmannian of r-dimensional isotropic subspaces of V…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $P$ a parabolic subgroup of $G$ with abelian unipotent radical $P^u$, and let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ contained in P. Let $\mathfrak{p}^u$ be the Lie algebra of $P^u$ and let $L$ be a Levi…
Let $A$ be a central simple algebra over a number field $K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, such that either the degree of the algebra $n \ge 3$, or $n=2$ and $A$ is not a totally definite quaternion algebra. Then strong…
The Brion morphism maps a generalized permutahedron to a collection of posets associated to its vertices. We compute this map explicitly for the Hopf monoids of permutahedra, associahedra, and orbit polytopes, and we explore the dual Brion…
We construct and analyze an explicit basis for the homology of the boolean complex of a Coxeter system. This gives combinatorial meaning to the spheres in the wedge sum describing the homotopy type of the complex. We assign a set of…
We consider a class of homogeneous manifolds including all semisimple coadjoint orbits. We describe manifolds of that class admitting deformation q uantizations equivariant under the action of $G$ and the corresponding quantum group. We…
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…
Let $G$ be the classical group, and let Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ denote the space of commuting $m$-tuples in $G$. Baird proved that the cohomology of Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ is identified with a certain ring of invariants of the Weyl group of…
We prove that the subposet induced by the fixed elements of any automorphism of a pircon is also a pircon. By a result of Abdallah, Hansson, and Hultman, the order complex of any open interval in a pircon is a PL ball or a PL sphere. We…
Let $\sigma$ be a simple involution of an algebraic semisimple group $G$ and let $H$ be the subgroup of $G$ of points fixed by $\sigma$. If the restricted root system is of type $A$, $C$ or $BC$ and $G$ is simply connected or if the…
We study the combinatorial types of periodic orbits of the standard covering endomorphisms ${\mathbf m}_k(x)=k x \ (\text{mod} \ {\mathbb Z})$ of the circle for integers $k \geq 2$ and the frequency with which they occur. For any $q$-cycle…
This paper studies twisted signature invariants and twisted linking forms, with a view towards obstructions to knot concordance. Given a knot $K$ and a representation $\rho$ of the knot group, we define a twisted signature function…
We investigate the ways in which fundamental properties of the weak Bruhat order on a Weyl group can be lifted (or not) to a corresponding highest weight crystal graph, viewed as a partially ordered set; the latter projects to the weak…
A permutation representation of a Coxeter group $W$ naturally defines an absolute order. This family of partial orders (which includes the absolute order on $W$) is introduced and studied in this paper. Conditions under which the associated…
In this paper we address the following question: is it always possible to choose a deformation quantization of a Poisson algebra A so that certain Poisson-commutative subalgebra C in it remains commutative? We define a series of…
We characterise the permutations pi such that the elements in the closed lower Bruhat interval [id,pi] of the symmetric group correspond to non-taking rook configurations on a skew Ferrers board. It turns out that these are exactly the…
In this paper, we give a Gr\"obner-Shirshov basis for the finitely presented semigroup algebra $\mathbf{k}[S_n(Sym_n)]$ defined by permutation relations of symmetric type. As an application, by the Composition-Diamond Lemma, we obtain…
We develop formulas that define permutahedral commutation coherence relations of all orders. To illustrate the result geometrically, we begin by defining a rigid transformation of the $(n+1)$-permutahedron into a $n$-cube of dimensions $1…
