We show that two Weyl group actions on the Springer sheaf with arbitrary coefficients, one defined by Fourier transform and one by restriction, agree up to a twist by the sign character. This generalizes a familiar result from the setting…

Let $G$ denote a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and $x$ a nilpotent element of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The Springer variety $\mathcal{B}_x$ is the closed subvariety of the flag variety $\mathcal{B}$ of $G$…

We describe the action of the Weyl group of a semi simple linear group $G$ on cohomological and K-theoretic invariants of the generalized flag variety $G/B$. We study the automorphism $s_i$, induced by the reflection in the simple root, on…

The action of a Weyl group on the associated weight lattice induces an additive action on the symmetric algebra and a multiplicative action on the group algebra of the lattice. We show that the coinvariant space of the multiplicative action…

We give an explicit affine algebraic variety whose coordinate ring is isomorphic (as an algebra with the action of the Weyl group) with the equivariant cohomology of some Springer fibers.

We show that integration over a $G$-manifold $M$ can be reduced to integration over a minimal section $\Sigma$ with respect to an induced weighted measure and integration over a homogeneous space $G/N$. We relate our formula to integration…

A classical and beautiful story in geometric representation theory is the construction by Springer of an action of the Weyl group on the cohomology of the fibres of the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. We establish a natural…

Let U be the enveloping algebra of a symmetric Kac-Moody algebra. The Weyl group acts on U, up to a sign. In addition, the positive subalgebra U^+ contains a so-called semicanonical basis, with remarkable properties. The aim of this paper…

We study representations of simply-laced Weyl groups which are equipped with canonical bases. Our main result is that for a large class of representations, the separable elements of the Weyl group $W$ act on these canonical bases by…

We propose a generalization of Springer representations to the context of groups over a global function field. The global counterpart of the Grothendieck simultaneous resolution is the parabolic Hitchin fibration. We construct an action of…

In the context of the Springer correspondence, the Weyl group action on the Springer sheaf can be defined in two ways: via restriction or the Fourier transform. It is well-known that these two actions differ by the sign character. This was…

Several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $\widetilde{C}_{n}$ on triangulations, trees, words and permutations are compared. Addressing a question of David Vogan, we show that, modulo a natural involution, these…

In this paper we discuss some of Springer's work on unipotent elements in a reductive groups and on representations of Weyl groups. Among the topics considered are Springer's bijection from the unipotent variety to the nilpotent variety,…

Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyl- and conformal invariance on the classical level. The global Weyl-group is gauged. Then the class of actions is…

We report yes-go and no-go results on consistent cross-couplings for a collection of gravitons. Motivated by the search of theories where multiplets of massless spin-two fields cross-interact, we look for all the consistent deformations of…

We derive the 1-loop effective action of the cubic Galileon coupled to quantum-gravitational fluctuations in a background and gauge-independent manner, employing the covariant framework of DeWitt and Vilkovisky. Although the bare action…

This note suggests a generalization of the Born--Infeld action (1932) on case of electroweak and gravitational fields in four-dimensional spacetime. The action is constructed from Dirac matrices, $\gamma_a$, and dimensionless covariant…

For a split reductive group scheme $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ with Weyl group $W$, there is an important functor $Rep(G,k) \to Rep(W,k)$ defined by taking the zero weight space. We prove that the restriction of this functor to the…

We construct a Stratonovich-Weyl correspondence for each generic representation of a Heisenberg motion group by using the Weyl calculus on the Fock space.

We construct a Weyl group action on the DKS type varieties, a certain class of varieties associated with quivers. As a result, on some special DKS type varieties, we can give a quiver theoretic explanation of the quasi-classical…
