The explicit expression of all the WZW effective actions for a simple group G broken down to a subgroup H is established in a simple and direct way, and the formal similarity of these actions to the Chern-Simons forms is explained.…

We first introduce an invariant index for G-equivariant elliptic differential operators on a locally compact manifold M admitting a proper cocompact action of a locally compact group G. It generalizes the Kawasaki index for orbifolds to the…

We extend the Altmann-Hausen presentation of normal affine algebraic C-varieties endowed with effective torus actions to the real setting. In particular, we focus on actions of quasi-split real tori, in which case we obtain a simpler…

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over a field k. We introduce the higher Tits indices of G as the set of all Tits indices of G over all field extensions K/k. In the context of quadratic forms this notion coincides with the notion of…

Let G be a finite group. An element x in G is a real element if x is conjugate to its inverse in G. For x in G, the conjugacy class x^G is said to be a real conjugacy class if every element of x^G is real. We show that if 4 divides no real…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between rational multiplicative group actions on an algebraic variety $X$ and derivations $\partial\colon K_X\to K_X$ of the field of fractions $K_X$ of $X$ satisfying that there exists a generating…

We establish rigidity for partial transformation groupoids associated with algebraic actions of semigroups: If two such groupoids (satisfying appropriate conditions) are isomorphic, then the globalizations of the initial algebraic actions…

Given a certain kind of linear representation of a reductive group, referred to as a quasi-symmetric representation in recent work of \v{S}penko and Van den Bergh, we construct equivalences between the derived categories of coherent sheaves…

We investigate the relationship between Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) heights and weighted heights, with a focus on their interaction in weighted projective spaces and their application to binary forms. Building on the weighted height…

Real forms of a complex reductive group are classified in terms of Galois cohomology $H^1(\Gamma,G_{ad})$ where $G_{ad}$ is the adjoint group. Alternatively, the theory of the Cartan involution gives a description in terms of cohomology…

A K3 surface $X$ over a $p$-adic field $K$ is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the ring of integers of $K$. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is extendable if $X$ admits a…

We associate convex bodies to a wide class of graded G-algebras where G is a connected reductive group. These convex bodies give information about the Hilbert function as well as multiplicities of irreducible representations appearing in…

We prove that if $G = G_1\times\dots\times G_n$ acts essentially, properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex X, then the cube complex splits as a product. We use this theorem to give various examples of groups for which the minimal…
