Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…

Let $G$ be a noncompact real algebraic group and $\G<G$ a lattice. One purpose of this paper is to show that there is an smooth, volume preserving, mixing action of $G$ or $\G$ on a compact manifold which admits a smooth deformation. We…

Let G be a connected reductive affine algebraic group. In this short note we define the "variety of G-characters" of a finitely generated group F and show that the quotient of the G-character variety of F by the action of the trace…

Let $\mathfrak{u}_\zeta^\vee$ denote the small quantum group associated with a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^\vee$ and a root of unity $\zeta$. In [9], a geometric realization of $Z(\mathfrak{u}_\zeta^\vee)^{G^\vee}$, the…

In this paper we provide a characterization of smooth algebraic varieties endowed with a faithful algebraic torus action in terms of a combinatorial description given by Altmann and Hausen. Our main result is that such a variety X is smooth…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field whose residue field is perfect and of positive characteristic, let $X$ be a connected, proper scheme over $\mathcal{O}_K$, and let $U$ be the complement in $X$ of a divisor with simple normal…

Given an affine scheme X with an action of a reductive group G and a G-linearized coherent sheaf M, we construct the ``invariant Quot scheme'' that parametrizes the quotients of M whose space of global sections is a direct sum of simple…

In a previous paper we have classified the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). In this work we give a geometrical description of such varieties. In particular, we determine their group of…

Let $X$ be a smooth manifold belonging to one of these three collections: acyclic manifolds (compact or not, possibly with boundary), compact connected manifolds (possibly with boundary) with nonzero Euler characteristic, integral homology…

Given a finite group $G$ and a faithful irreducible $FG$-module $V$ where $F$ has prime order, does $G$ have a regular orbit on $V$? This problem is equivalent to determining which primitive permutation groups of affine type have a base of…

We show that if X is any proper complex variety, there is a weight decomposition on the real schematic homotopy type, in the form of an algebraic G_m-action. This extends to a real Hodge structure, in the form of a discrete C^*-action, such…

The motivation of this work is to construct an analog of compactified moduli of abelian varieties and toric pairs in the case of non-commutative algebraic group G. We introduce a class of "stable reductive varieties" which contain connected…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field ${\bf k}$ of characteristic not equal to 2, let $\B$ be the variety of all Borel subgroups of $G$, and let $K$ be a symmetric subgroup of $G$. Fixing a…

For a singular variety X, an essential step to determine its smoothability and study its deformations is the understanding of the tangent sheaf and of the sheaf T^1_X:=ext^1(Omega_X,O_X). A variety is semi-smooth if its singularities are…

We present a generalized version of classical geometric invariant theory \`a la Mumford where we consider an affine algebraic group $G$ acting on a specific affine algebraic variety $X$. We define the notions of linearly reductive and of…

In this paper, we study the action of non abelian group G generated by affine homotheties on R^n. We prove that G satisfies one of the following properties: (i) there exist a subgroup F_{G} of R\{0} containing 0 in its closure, a…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over the complex numbers, and $K\subset G$ be a maximal compact subgroup. Let $X , Y$ be irreducible smooth complex projective varieties and $f: X \rightarrow Y$ an algebraic…

We prove a Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for affine vortices generalizing a result of Jaffe-Taubes for the action of the circle on the affine line. Namely, suppose a compact Lie group K has a Hamiltonian action on a Kaehler manifold X…

We show that within any strong orbit equivalent class, there exist minimal subshifts with arbitrarily low superlinear complexity. This is done by proving that for any simple dimension group with unit $(G,G^+,u)$ and any sequence of positive…
