We construct a generalized class of quantum gravity condensate states, that allows the description of continuum homogeneous quantum geometries within the full theory. They are based on similar ideas already applied to extract effective…

Consider the generalized flag manifold $G/B$ and the corresponding affine flag manifold $\mathcal{Fl}_G$. In this paper we use curve neighborhoods for Schubert varieties in $\mathcal{Fl}_G$ to construct certain affine Gromov-Witten…

We describe a map from the equivariant twisted K-homology of a compact, connected, simply connected Lie group $G$ to the Verlinde ring. Our map is described at the level of `D-cycles' for the geometric twisted K-homology of $G$, and is…

We use Chen iterated line integrals to construct a topological algebra ${\cal A}_p$ of separating functions on the {\it Group of Loops} ${\bf L}{\cal M}_p$. ${\cal A}_p$ has an Hopf algebra structure which allows the construction of a group…

We show that endomorphism rings of cogenerators in the module category of a finite-dimensional algebra A admit a canonical tilting module, whose tilted algebra B is related to A by a recollement. Let M be a gen-finite A-module, meaning…

We give another proof of the generic semisimplicity of the big quantum cohomology of the symplectic isotropic Grassmannians IG(2,2n).

We investigate an equivariant generalization of Morse theory for a general class of integrable models. In particular, we derive equivariant versions of the classical Poincar\'e-Hopf and Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorems and present the…

We introduce the notion of an algebraic cocycle as the algebraic analogue of a map to an Eilenberg-MacLane space. Using these cocycles we develop a ``cohomology theory" for complex algebraic varieties. The theory is bigraded, functorial,…

Let $G$ be a complex quasi-simple algebraic group and $G/P$ be a partial flag variety. The projections of Richardson varieties from the full flag variety form a stratification of $G/P$. We show that the closure partial order of projected…

This is an expanded version of the text ``Perverse Sheaves on Loop Grassmannians and Langlands Duality'', AG/9703010. The main new result is a topological realization of algebraic representations of reductive groups over arbitrary rings. We…

After recalling briefly some basic properties of the quantum group $GL_q(2)$, we study the quantum sphere $S_q^2$, quantum projective space $CP_q(N)$ and quantum Grassmannians as examples of complex (K\"{a}hler) quantum manifolds. The…

We give complete proofs of the K-theoretic construction of the quantized enveloping algebra of affine gl(n) sketched with V. Ginzburg in Internat. Math. Res. Notices, 3 (1993).

The intention of this thesis is to provide general tools and concepts that allow to perform a mathematically substantiated symmetry reduction in (quantum) gauge field theories. Here, the main focus is on the framework of loop quantum…

For an acyclic quiver, we establish a connection between the cohomology of quiver Grassmannians and the dual canonical bases of the algebra $U_q^-(\mathfrak{g})$, where $U_q^-(\mathfrak{g})$ is the negative half of the quantized enveloping…

Consider a locally compact group $G=Q\ltimes V$ such that $V$ is abelian and the action of $Q$ on the dual abelian group $\hat V$ has a free orbit of full measure. We show that such a group $G$ can be quantized in three equivalent ways: (1)…

Let $U$ be a compact semisimple Lie group with complexification $G$ and associated Cartan involution $\Theta$. Let $\nu$ be an involutive complex Lie group automorphism of $G$ commuting with $\Theta$, and consider the associated semisimple…

The affine Grassmannian associated to a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine analogue of the usual flag varieties. It is a rich source of Poisson varieties and their symplectic resolutions. These spaces are examples of conical…

We compute the integer cohomology rings of the ``polygon spaces'' introduced in [Hausmann,Klyachko,Kapovich-Millson]. This is done by embedding them in certain toric varieties; the restriction map on cohomology is surjective and we…

We extend the work of Pappas-Rapoport-Zhu on twisted affine Grassmannians to wildly ramified, quasi-split, and residually split groups, assuming the maximal torus is induced. This relies on the construction, inspired by Tits, of certain…

We explain that the Pontryagin product structure on the equivariant $K$-group of an affine Grassmannian considered in [Lam-Schilling-Shimozono, Compos. Math. {\bf 146} (2010)] coincides with the tensor structure on the equivariant $K$-group…
