In this article we propose a vanishing conjecture for a certain class of $\ell$-adic complexes on a reductive group $G$, which can be regraded as a generalization of the acyclicity of the Artin-Schreier sheaf. We show that the vanishing…

We establish a Schur type duality between a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of type A and the Hecke algebra of type B with 2 parameters. We identify the $\imath$-canonical basis on the tensor product of the natural representation…

By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a finite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on…

We introduce `canonical' classes in the Selmer groups of certain Galois representations with a conjugate-symplectic symmetry. They are images of special cycles in unitary Shimura varieties, and defined uniquely up to a scalar. The…

This note contains some examples of hyperk\"ahler varieties $X$ having a group $G$ of non-symplectic automorphisms, and such that the action of $G$ on certain Chow groups of $X$ is as predicted by Bloch's conjecture. The examples range in…

In this paper, we investigate the local Euler obstruction and the relative local Euler obstruction in terms of constructible complexes of sheaves, characteristic cycles, and vanishing cycles. The fundamental tool that we use is the notion…

We study some aspects of modular generalized Springer theory for a complex reductive group $G$ with coefficients in a field $\mathbb k$ under the assumption that the characteristic $\ell$ of $\mathbb k$ is rather good for $G$, i.e., $\ell$…

We study the cluster category of a canonical algebra A in terms of the hereditary category of coherent sheaves over the corresponding weighted projective line X. As an application we determine the automorphism group of the cluster category…

Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety, and let $G$ be a group of finite order non-symplectic automorphisms of $X$. Beauville's conjectural splitting property predicts that each Chow group of $X$ should split in a finite number of pieces. The…

In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula involves a new class of generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, all of which surprisingly seem to be…

We describe a natural $q$-deformation of Fock and Goncharov's canonical basis for the algebra of regular functions on a cluster variety associated to a quiver of type $A$. We then describe an extension of this construction involving a…

We introduce the characteristic class of an l-adic etale sheaf using a cohomological pairing due to Verdier (SGA5). As a consequence of the Lefschetz-Verdier trace formula, its trace computes the Euler-Poincare characteristic of the sheaf.…

Dual canonical bases are expected to satisfy a certain (double) triangularity property by Leclerc's conjecture. We propose an analogous conjecture for common triangular bases of quantum cluster algebras. We show that a weaker form of the…

Let A be the path algebra of a quiver Q with no oriented cycle. We study geometric properties of the Grassmannians of submodules of a given A-module M. In particular, we obtain some sufficient conditions for smoothness, polynomial…

We prove the existence of canonical bases in the K-theory of quiver varieties. This existence was conjectured by Lusztig.

We discuss secondary (and higher) characteristic classes for algebraic vector bundles with trivial top Chern class. We show that if X is a smooth affine scheme of dimension d over a field k of finite 2-cohomological dimension (with char(k)…

For the BGG category of $\mathfrak{q}(n)$-modules of half-integer weights, a Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture \`a la Brundan is formulated in terms of categorical canonical basis of the $n$th tensor power of the natural representation of the…

Inspired by recent work of Geiss-Leclerc-Schroer, we use Hom-finite cluster categories to give a good candidate set for a basis of (upper) cluster algebras with coefficients arising from quivers. This set consists of generic values taken by…

We propose an approach to Geiss-Leclerc-Schroer's conjecture on the cluster algebra structure on the coordinate ring of a unipotent subgroup and the dual canonical base. It is based on singular supports of perverse sheaves on the space of…

We give a new formula for the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsigular compact complex analytic variety. In particular this formula generalizes our previous result on the Euler characteristic of such a hypersurface.…
