In an earlier paper, two of the authors defined a $5$-vertex Yang-Baxter algebra (a Hopf algebra) which acts on the sum of the equivariant quantum K-rings of Grassmannians $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, where $k$ varies from $0$ to $n$. We construct…

We construct the Schubert basis of the torus-equivariant K-homology of the affine Grassmannian of a simple algebraic group G, using the K-theoretic NilHecke ring of Kostant and Kumar. This is the K-theoretic analogue of a construction of…

We consider the cotangent bundle $T^*F_\lambda$ of a $GL_n$ partial flag variety, $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_N)$, $|\lambda|=\sum_i\lambda_i=n$, and the torus $T=(\C^\times)^{n+1}$ equivariant K-theory algebra $K_T(T^*F_\lambda)$. We…

The aim of these notes is to describe how to construct canonical bundles of moving frames and differential invariants for parametrized curves in Lagrangian Grassmannians, at least in the monotonic case. Such curves appear as Jacobi curves…

Given a complex vector space $V$ of finite dimension, its Grassmannian variety parametrizes all subspaces of $V$ of a given dimension. Similarly, if a finite group $G$ acts on $V$, its invariant Grassmannian parametrizes all the…

We first describe, over a field K of characteristic different from 2, the orbits for the adjoint actions of the Lie groups PGL(2, K) and PSL(2, K) on their Lie algebra sl(2, K). While the former are well known, the latter lead to the…

In 1998, Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson showed that for certain projective varieties X equipped with an algebraic action of a complex torus T, the equivariant cohomology ring H_T(X) can be described by combinatorial data obtained from…

Given a classical semisimple complex algebraic group G and a symmetric pair (G, K) of non-Hermitian type, we study the closures of the spherical nilpotent K-orbits in the isotropy representation of K. For all such orbit closures, we study…

This paper aims to focus on Richardson varieties on symplectic groups, especially their combinatorial characterization and defining equations. Schubert varieties and opposite Schubert varieties have profound significance in the study of…

In this paper, we present the construction of a geometric object, called a generalized flag geometry, $(X^+;X^-)$, corresponding to a (2k +1)-graded Lie algebra $g=g_k\oplus\dots\oplus g_{-k}$. We prove that $(X^+;X^-) can be realized…

The coadjoint representation of a connected algebraic group $Q$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak q$ is a thrilling and fascinating object. Symmetric invariants of $\mathfrak q$ (= $\mathfrak q$-invariants in the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak…

We unify problems about the equivariant geometry of symmetric quiver representation varieties, in the finite type setting, with the corresponding problems for symmetric varieties $GL(n)/K$ where $K$ is an orthogonal or symplectic group. In…

Let $G$ be the complex general linear group and $g$ its Lie algebra equipped with a factorizable Lie bialgebra structure; let $U_h$ be the corresponding quantum group. We construct explicit $U_h$-equivariant quantization of Poisson orbit…

We show that (equivariant) K-theoretic 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of genus zero on a Grassmann variety are equal to triple intersections computed in the ordinary (equivariant) K-theory of a two-step flag manifold, thus generalizing an…

This paper gives a complete selfcontained proof of our result announced in hep-th/9909126 showing that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of extraction of finite values based on…

Let $G$ be a compact connected simple Lie group and let $M=G^{\bb{C}}/P=G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold. In this article we focus on an important invariant of $G/K$, the so called $\fr{t}$-root system $R_{\fr{t}}$, and we introduce the…

This is my old unpublished paper called "The generalized Grassmann invariant". It shows how "pictures" also known as "Peiffer diagrams" represent elements of $H_3G$ for any group $G$ and shows that $K_3(\mathbb Z [G])$ is isomorphic to a…

In [Wyser-Yong '13] we introduced polynomial representatives of cohomology classes of orbit closures in the flag variety, for the symmetric pair $(GL_{p+q}, GL_p \times GL_q)$. We present analogous results for the remaining symmetric pairs…

Let G be the split special orthogonal group of degree 2n+1 over a field F of char F \ne 2. Then we describe G-orbits on the triple flag varieties G/P\times G/P\times G/P and G/P\times G/P\times G/B with respect to the diagonal action of G…
