We consider actions of complex algebraic groups $\mathbf{G}$ on complex algebraic varieties $\mathbf{X}$, coming from actions of real forms $G$ of $\mathbf{G}$ and $X$ of $\mathbf{X}$. We explore the links between the real points of the…
In this article we review the question of constructing geometric quotients of actions of linear algebraic groups on irreducible varieties over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero, in the spirit of Mumford's geometric…
In this paper, we construct a lax monoidal Topological Quantum Field Theory that computes virtual classes, in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties, of $G$-representation varieties over manifolds with conic singularities, which we…
For a complex variety $\hat X$ with an action of a reductive group $\hat G$ and a geometric quotient $\pi: \hat X \to X$ by a closed normal subgroup $H \subset \hat G$, we show that open sets of $X$ admitting good quotients by $G=\hat G /…
We give examples for existence and non-existence of categorical quotients for algebraic group actions in the categories of algebraic varieties and prevarieties. All our examples are subtorus actions on toric varieties.
We introduce the notion of relative pseudocoefficient for relative discrete series of real spherical homogeneous spaces of reductive groups. We prove that such relative pseudocoefficient does not exist for semisimple symmetric spaces of…
If G is a group, a pseudocharacter f: G-->R is a function which is "almost" a homomorphism. If G admits a nontrivial pseudocharacter f, we define the space of ends of G relative to f and show that if the space of ends is complicated enough,…
Pseudo-automorphisms are birational transformations acting as regular automorphisms in codimension 1. We import ideas from geometric group theory to prove that a group of birational transformations that satisfies a fixed point property on…
We study the phenomena that arise when we combine the standard pseudodifferential operators with those operators that appear in the study of some sub-elliptic estimates, and on strongly pseudoconvex domains. The algebra of operators we…
The paper concerns a certain subcategory of the category of representations for a semisimple algebraic group $G$ in characteristic $p$, which arise from the semisimple modules for the corresponding quantum group at a $p$-th root of unity.…
A $GL_d$-pseudocharacter is a function from a group $\Gamma$ to a ring $k$ satisfying polynomial relations which make it "look like" the character of a representation. When $k$ is an algebraically closed field, Taylor proved that…
The algebraic method of singular reduction is applied for non regular group action on manifolds which provides singular symplectic spaces. The problem of deformation quantization of the singular surfaces is the focus. For some examples of…
Numerical semigroup rings are investigated from the relative viewpoint. It is known that algebraic properties such as singularities of a numerical semigroup ring are properties of a flat numerical semigroup algebra. In this paper, we show…
The vector fields of the quantum Lie algebra are described for the quantum groups $GL_q(N), SL_q(N)$ and $SO_q(N)$ as pseudodifferential operators on the linear quantum spaces covariant under the corresponding quantum group. Their…
In these lectures we consider how algebraic properties of discrete subgroups of Lie groups restrict the possible actions of those groups on surfaces. The results show a strong parallel between the possible actions of such a group on the…
We obtain a version of the theorem of the square and a local structure result for actions of connected algebraic groups on seminormal varieties in characteristic 0, and arbitrary varieties in positive characteristics.
Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) produces quotients of algebraic varieties by reductive groups. If the variety is projective, this quotient depends on a choice of polarisation; by work of Dolgachev-Hu and Thaddeus, it is known that two…
