Given a root system $\Phi$ of type $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$, or $D_n$ in Euclidean space $E$, let $W$ be the associated Weyl group. For a point $p \in E$ not orthogonal to any of the roots in $\Phi$, we consider the $W$-permutohedron $P_W$,…
For any crystallographic root system, let $W$ be the associated Weyl group, and let $\mathit{WP}$ be the weight polytope (also known as the $W$-permutohedron) associated with an arbitrary strongly dominant weight. The action of $W$ on…
For a Weyl group $W$ and a $W$-permutohedron $P$, there are associated toric varieties $X_P$ and $X_{P/W_K}$ for any parabolic subgroup $W_K$ of $W$, since the quotient $P/W_K$ can be identified with a polytope inside $P$. We construct an…
For a toric variety X_P determined by a rational polyhedral fan P in a lattice N, Payne shows that the equivariant Chow cohomology of X_P is the Sym(N)--algebra C^0(P) of integral piecewise polynomial functions on P. We use the…
We show that the equivariant Chow cohomology ring of a toric variety is naturally isomorphic to the ring of integral piecewise polynomial functions on the associated fan. This gives a large class of singular spaces for which localization…
Let $W$ be a finite group generated by reflections of a lattice $M$. If a lattice polytope $P \subset M \otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb R$ is preserved by $W$, then we show that the quotient of the projective toric variety $X_P$ by $W$ is…
Let $X$ be a topological space upon which a compact connected Lie group $G$ acts. It is well-known that the equivariant cohomology $H_G^*(X;\Q)$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of Weyl group invariants of the equivariant cohomology…
Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group. In this paper we show analogues of the computations by Borho and MacPherson of the invariants and anti-invariants of the cohomology of the Springer fibres of the cone of nilpotent…
We show that Fourier transforms on the Weyl algebras have a geometric counterpart in the framework of toric varieties, namely they induce isomorphisms between twisted rings of differential operators on regular toric varieties, whose fans…
Let $G$ denote a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and $x$ a nilpotent element of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The Springer variety $\mathcal{B}_x$ is the closed subvariety of the flag variety $\mathcal{B}$ of $G$…
Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact…
Given a reduced crystallographic root system with a fixed simple system, it is associated to a Weyl group $W$, parabolic subgroups $W_K$'s and a polytope $P$ which is the convex hull of a dominant weight. The quotient $P/W_K$ can be…
Associated to a toric variety $X$ of dimension $r$ over a field $k$ is a fan $\Delta$ on $\Bbb R^r$. The fan $\Delta$ is a finite set of cones which are in one-to-one correspondence with the orbits of the torus action on $X$. The fan…
This note is motivated by the problem of understanding Springer's remarkable action of the Weyl group $W=N_G(T)/T$ of a semi-simple complex linear algebraic group $G$, with maximal torus $T$, on the cohomology algebra of an arbitrary…
We study intersection numbers of invariant divisors in the toric manifold associated with the fan determined by the collection of Weyl chambers for each root system of classical type and of exceptional type $G_2$. We give a combinatorial…
The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are…
Toric varieties are a special class of rational varieties defined by equations of the form {\it monomial = monomial}. For a good brief survey of the history and role of toric varieties see [10]. Any toric variety $X$ contains a cover by…
From a root system, one may consider the arrangement of reflecting hyperplanes, as well as its toric and elliptic analogues. The corresponding Weyl group acts on the complement of the arrangement and hence on its cohomology. We consider a…
Dropping separatedness in the definition of a toric variety, one obtains the more general notion of a toric prevariety. Toric prevarieties occur as ambient spaces in algebraic geometry and moreover they appear naturally as intermediate…
Given a root system, the Weyl chambers in the co-weight lattice give rise to a real toric variety, called the real toric variety associated to the Weyl chambers. We compute the integral cohomology groups of real toric varieties associated…
