We consider the loci of invertible linear maps $f : \mathbb{C}^n \to {(\mathbb{C}^n)}^*$ together with pairs of flags $(E_\bullet, F_\bullet)$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ such that the various restrictions $f : F_j \to E_i^*$ have specified ranks.…

We describe a class of real Banach manifolds, which classify $K^{-1}$. These manifolds are Grassmannians of (hermitian) lagrangian subspaces in a complex Hilbert space. Certain finite codimensional real subvarieties described by incidence…

In this paper, given a semisimple algebraic group $\bf G$ of rank 2, we construct a special semiorthogonal decomposition in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the flag variety ${\bf G}/{\bf B}$. These decompositions are defined…

For a finite field k and a triple of integers g \ge r \ge s \ge 0, we count the number of semilinear endomorphisms of a g-dimensional k-vector space which have rank r and stable rank s. Such endomorphisms show up naturally in the…

Correlation functions can be calculated on Riemann surfaces using the operator formalism. The state in the Hilbert space of the free field theory on the punctured disc, corresponding to the Riemann surface, is constructed at infinite genus,…

Forgetting a subspace from a partial flag yields another partial flag composed of fewer subspaces. This induces a forgetful map $\pi : X \to X'$ between the corresponding flag varieties. We prove here that, for a degree large enough, the…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and let $Z$ be the stabilizer of a nilpotent element $e$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We consider the action of $Z$ on the flag variety of $G$, and we focus on the case where this action has a finite…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

In Schubert Puzzles and Integrability I we proved several "puzzle rules" for computing products of Schubert classes in K-theory (and sometimes equivariant K-theory) of d-step flag varieties. The principal tool was "quantum integrability",…

Let $k =\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and $E$ an elliptic curve over $k$. Let $F = k(E)$ be the function field over $E$ and let $\mathcal{O} = k[E]$ be the ring of integers. We fix the place at $\infty$ of $F$ and let…

Under the assumption that the base field k has characteristic 0, we compute the algebraic cobordism fundamental classes of a family of Schubert varieties isomorphic to full and symplectic flag bundles. We use this computation to prove a…

The prime number decomposition of a finite dimensional Hilbert space reflects itself in the representations that the space accommodates. The representations appear in conjugate pairs for factorization to two relative prime factors which can…

We introduce a new family of symmetric functions, which are $q$-analogues of products of Schur functions defined in terms of ribbon tableaux. These functions can be interpreted in terms of the Fock space representation of the quantum affine…

In this paper we establish a universal characterization of higher algebraic K-theory in the setting of small stable infinity categories. Specifically, we prove that connective algebraic K-theory is the universal additive invariant, i.e.,…

We prove that for an arbitrary field $k,$ a complete, associative $k^r$-algebra $\hat H$ augmented over $k^r$ has exactly $r$ maximal two-sided ideals and deserves the name $r$-pointed. If $A$ is any $k$-algebra, $M=\{M_i\}_{i=1}^r$ is a…

We study generalizations of Schur functors from categories consisting of flags of vector spaces. We give different descriptions of the category of such functors in terms of representations of certain combinatorial categories and infinite…

Let $F$ be a finitely generated regular field extension of transcendence degree $\geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$. We show that the multiplicative group $F^\times/k^\times$ endowed with the equivalence relation induced by algebraic…

In this paper, we {\it find} the infinitesimal structure of Funk-Finsler metric in spaces of constant curvature. We investigate the geometry of this Funk-Finsler metric by explicitly computing its $S$-curvature, Riemann curvature, Ricci…

We define a linear structure on Grothendieck's arithmetic fundamental group $\pi_1(X, x)$ of a scheme $X$ defined over a field $k$ of characteristic 0. It allows us to link the existence of sections of the Galois group ${\rm Gal}(\bar k/k)$…

The variety of complete quadrics is the wonderful compactification of $GL_n/O_n$ and admits a cell decomposition into Borel orbits indexed by combinatorial objects called $\mu$-involutions. We study Coxeter-theoretic properties of…
