Using Deodhar's decomposition of a double Schubert cell, we study the regular representations of finite groups of Lie type arising in the cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to tori. We deduce that the Deligne-Lusztig…

The affine Deligne-Lusztig variety $X_w(b)$ in the affine flag variety of a reductive group $\mathbb G$ depends on two parameters: the $\sigma$-conjugacy class $[b]$ and the element $w$ in the Iwahori-Weyl group $\tilde W$ of $\mathbb G$.…

In this paper we study the geometric structure of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for $GL_n$ and $b$ basic. We introduce a new condition on $\lambda$. If this is satisfied, then the corresponding affine Deligne-Lusztig variety is the…

In this paper we prove a direct geometric relation between Deligne--Lusztig varieties and Springer fibres in type $\mathsf{A}$: For any rational unipotent element, the Springer fibre cuts out a unique component of a specific…

To a closed connected oriented surface $S$ of genus $g$ and a nonempty finite subset $P$ of $S$ is associated a simplicial complex (the arc complex) that plays a basic r\^ ole in understanding the mapping class group of the pair $(S,P)$. It…

Let G be a locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid in which s is a local homeomorphism and the unit space is totally disconnected. Assume there is a continuous cocycle c from G into a discrete group $\Gamma$. We show that the collection A(G) of…

Raf Bocklandt and the author have proved in math.AG/0010030 that certain quotient varieties of representations of deformed preprojective algebras are coadjoint orbits for the necklace Lie algebra of the corresponding quiver. A conjectural…

Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field. Steinberg has associated to a Coxeter element w of minimal length r a subvariety V of G isomorphic to an affine space of dimension r which meets the regular unipotent class Y…

Motivated by the desire to understand the geometry of the basic loci in the reduction of Shimura varieties, we study their "group-theoretic models" -- generalized affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties -- in cases where they have a particularly…

We obtain some simple relations between decomposition numbers of quantized Schur algebras at an n-th root of unity (over a field of characteristic 0). These relations imply that every decomposition number for such an algebra occurs as a…

Let $X\subseteq G\slash B$ be a Schubert variety in a flag manifold and let $\pi: \tilde X \rightarrow X$ be a Bott-Samelson resolution of $X$. In this paper we prove an effective version of the decomposition theorem for the derived…

Decomposition classes provide a way of partitioning the Lie algebras of an algebraic group into equivalence classes based on the Jordan decomposition. In this paper, we investigate the decomposition classes of the Lie algebras of connected…

In 1965, Steinberg's study of conjugacy classes in connected reductive groups led him to construct an affine subspace parametrising regular conjugacy classes, which he noticed is also a cross section for the conjugation action by the…

In this paper we prove the fundamental lemma for Deligne-Lusztig functions. Namely, for every Deligne-Lusztig function $\phi$ on a $p$-adic group $G$ we write down an explicit linear combination $\phi^H$ of Deligne-Lusztig functions on an…

Given a graph G, we construct a simple, convex polytope whose face poset is based on the connected subgraphs of G. This provides a natural generalization of the Stasheff associahedron and the Bott-Taubes cyclohedron. Moreover, we show that…

Orbits of the Weyl reflection groups attached to the simple Lie groups $A_2, C_2, G_2$ and Coxeter group $H_2$ are considered. For each of the groups products of any two orbits are decomposed into the union of the orbits. Results are…

For an affine, toric Q-Gorenstein variety Y (given by a lattice polytope Q) the vector space T^1 of infinitesimal deformations is related to the complexified vector spaces of rational Minkowski summands of faces of Q. Moreover, assuming Y…

Rapoport and Kottwitz defined the affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_{\tilde{w}}^P(b\sigma)$ of a quasisplit connected reductive group $G$ over $F = \mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for a parahoric subgroup $P$. They asked which pairs $(b, \tilde{w})$…

The notion of a linear Coxeter system introduced by Vinberg generalizes the geometric representation of a Coxeter group. Our main theorem asserts that if $v$ is an element of the Tits cone of a linear Coxeter system and $\cW$ is the…

We define new deformations of group algebras of Coxeter groups W and of subgroups of even elements in them, by deforming the braid relations. We show that these deformations are algebraically flat iff they are formally flat, and that this…
