In this paper, we give $\mathbb{Z}\left[1/2\right]$-forms of $\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{C})$-orbits in the flag variety of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. We also prove that they give a $\mathbb{Z}\left[1/2\right]$-form of the…

We show that for an algebraic reductive group $G$, the partition of a double Schubert cell in the flag variety $G/B$ defined by Deodhar, and coming from a Bialynicki-Birula decomposition, is not a stratification in general. We give a…

In this paper we deal with compactifications of affine homology $3$-cells into quadric fibrations such that the boundary divisors contain fibers. We show that all such affine homology $3$-cells are isomorphic to the affine $3$-space…

The main result of the paper is a Borel type description of the $Sp(1)^n$-equivariant cohomology ring of the manifold $Fl_n(\mathbb{H})$ of all complete flags in $\mathbb{H}^n$. To prove this, we obtain a Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson type…

In this article, we use the Bruhat and Schubert cells to calculate the cellular homology of the maximal compact subgroup $K$ of a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra is a split real form. We lift to the maximal compact…

The orbit polytope for a finite group G acting linearly and freely on a sphere S is used to construct a cellularized fundamental domain for the action. A resolution of the integers over G results from the associated G-equivariant…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{\Theta }=G/P_{\Theta }$ be a generalized flag manifold, where $G$ is a real noncompact semi-simple Lie group and $P_{\Theta }$ a parabolic subgroup. A classical result says the Schubert cells, which are the closure of the…

For a closed 3-manifold $M$ in a certain class, we give a presentation of the cellular chain complex of the universal cover of $M$. The class includes all surface bundles, some surgeries of knots in $S^3$, some cyclic branched cover of…

We construct equivariant and Bott-type Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for 3-manifolds, in particular rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance. We present several versions of the equivariant theory:…

In this paper we develop a method to compute the Burns-Epstein invariant of a spherical CR homology sphere, up to an integer, from its holonomy representation. As application, we give a formula for the Burns-Epstein invariant, modulo an…
