This note is motivated by the problem of understanding Springer's remarkable action of the Weyl group $W=N_G(T)/T$ of a semi-simple complex linear algebraic group $G$, with maximal torus $T$, on the cohomology algebra of an arbitrary…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, and write $S=\{s_i:i\in I\}$, where $I$ is a finite index set. Fix a nonempty convex subset $\mathscr{L}$ of $W$. If $W$ is of type $A$, then $\mathscr{L}$ is the set of linear extensions of a poset, and…

We study the restriction of the absolute order on a Coxeter group $W$ to an interval $[1,w]_T$, where $w\in W$ is an involution. We characterize and classify those involutions $w$ for which $[1,w]_T$ is a lattice, using the notion of…

A referee found an error in the proof of the Theorem 2 that we could not fix. More precisely, the proof of Lemma 2.1 is incorrect. Hence the fact that integer cohomology of complement of toric Weyl arrangements is torsion free is still a…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of adjoint type over $\mathbb{C},$ whose root system is of type $F_{4}.$ Let $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$ and $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ containing $T.$ Let $w$ be an element of Weyl group $W$ and…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type and $T$ a maximal torus of $G$. In this paper we complete the study of the question of the existence of a complement for the torus $T$ in its algebraic normalizer $N(G,T)$. It is proved that every…

We give explicit formulas for torus-equivariant fundamental classes of closed $K$-orbits on the flag variety $G/B$ when $G$ is one of the classical groups $SL(n,\C)$, $SO(n,\C)$, or $Sp(2n,\C)$, and $K$ is a symmetric subgroup of $G$. We…

In this article, we study $G$-covers of klt varieties, where $G$ is a reductive group. First, we exhibit an example of a klt singularity admitting a $\mathbb{P}{\rm GL}_n(\mathbb{K})$-cover that is not of klt type. Then, we restrict…

Let $r$ and $q$ be positive integers and $n=qr+1.$ Let $G = SL(n, \mathbb{C})$ and $T$ be a maximal torus of $G.$ Let $P^{\alpha_r}$ be the maximal parabolic subgroup of $G$ corresponding to the simple root $\alpha_r.$ Let $\omega_r$ be the…

The Demazure product gives a natural monoid structure on any Coxeter group. Such structure occurs naturally in many different areas in Lie Theory. This paper studies the Demazure product of an extended affine Weyl group $\tilde W$. The main…

For a Coxeter group $W$ we have an associating bi-linear form $B$ on suitable real vector space. We assume that $B$ has the signature $(n-1,1)$ and all the bi-linear form associating rank $n' (\ge 3)$ Coxeter subgroups generated by subsets…

The imaginary cone of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra is the convex hull of zero and the positive imaginary roots. This paper studies the imaginary cone for a class of root systems of general Coxeter groups W. It is shown that the imaginary cone of…

In this paper we completely classify symplectic actions of a torus $T$ on a compact connected symplectic manifold $(M, \sigma)$ when some, hence every, principal orbit is a coisotropic submanifold of $(M, \sigma)$. That is, we construct an…

In this paper, for any simple, simply connected algebraic group $G$ of type $B_n,C_n$ or $D_n$ and for any maximal parabolic subgroup $P$ of $G$, we describe all minimal dimensional Schubert varieties in $G/P$ admitting semistable points…

We attach to every Coxeter system (W,S) an extension C_W of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We construct a 1-parameter family of (generically surjective) morphisms from the group algebra of the corresponding Artin group onto C_W.…

The Weyl group $W(\mathrm{E}_6)$ has an odd presentation due to Christopher Simons as factor group of the Coxeter group on the Petersen graph by deflation of the free hexagons. The goal of this paper is to give a geometric meaning for this…

The main result describes the Brauer-Nesbitt reduction of unipotent representations of a finite group of Lie type, expressing it as an explicit linear combination of the restriction of Weyl modules from the algebraic group to the group of…

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra, and U_h(g) the corresponding quantum group. We showed in arXiv:1610.09744 and arXiv:1610.09741 that the braided quasi-Coxeter structure on integrable, category O representations of U_h(g) which…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the validity of the assumptions (W) and (S) stated in a previous work, about the torsion in the modular l-adic cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to Coxeter elements. We prove that…

We consider twisted equivariant K--theory for actions of a compact Lie group $G$ on a space $X$ where all the isotropy subgroups are connected and of maximal rank. We show that the associated rational spectral sequence \`a la Segal has a…
