Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

We formulate and prove examples of a conjecture which describes the W-algebras in type A as successive quantum Hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras associated with several hook-type nilpotent orbits. This implies that the affine…

This paper gives methods to describe the adjoint orbits of $\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{o}_r)$ on $\mathrm{Lie}(\mathbf{G})(\mathfrak{o}_r)$ where $\mathfrak{o}_r=\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^r$ ($r\in\mathbb{N}$) is a finite quotient of the…

Let $X=G/H$ be a spherical homogeneous variety for a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. We prove that the orbit space of $X$ under the action of a maximal compact subgroup $K\subset G$ is homeomorphic to the valuation cone of $X$. We…

In this paper, we establish a general criterion for good pairs, namely pairs consisting of a nilpotent orbit and an even good grading in a simple Lie algebra, which guarantees the existence of a quantum Hamiltonian reduction between…

A real algebraic variety W of dimension m is said to be uniformly rational if each of its points has a Zariski open neighborhood which is biregularly isomorphic to a Zariski open subset of R^m. Let l be any nonnegative integer. We prove…

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, with $r$-th Frobenius kernel $G_r$. Let $M$ be a $G_r$-module and $V$ a rational $G$-module. We put a variety structure on…
