For a subgroup $H$ of a reductive group $G$, let $\mathfrak m\subset \mathfrak g^*$ be the cotangent space of $eH\in G/H$. The linear action $(H:\mathfrak m)$ is the coisotropy representation. It is known that the complexity and rank of…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…

This short note considers varieties of the form $G\times S_{\text{reg}}$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple group and $S_{\text{reg}}$ is a regular Slodowy slice in the Lie algebra of $G$. Such varieties arise naturally in hyperk\"ahler…

Let $G$ be a finitely presented group. A new complexity called \textit{Karoubi-Weibel complexity} or \textit{covering type}, is defined for $G$. The construction is inspired by recent work of Karoubi and Weibel \cite{KW}, initially applied…

If $X$ is a connected complex manifold with $d_X = 2$ that admits the holomorphic and transitive action of a (connected) Lie group $G$, then the action extends to an action of the complexification $\hat{G}$ of $G$ on $X$ except when either…

In this paper we introduce an abelian category $\mathscr{X}(\bf G)$ to study the complex representations of a reductive algebraic groups $\bf G$ with Frobenius map. We classify all the simple objects in $\mathscr{X}(\bf G)$ and show that…

Given a K3^[2]-type manifold X with a symplectic involution i, the quotient X/i admits a Nikulin orbifold Y as terminalization. We study the symplectic action of a group G of order 4 on X, such that i belongs to G, and the natural…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple algebraic group and $X$ be a complex symmetric homogeneous $G$-variety. Assume that both $G$, $X$ as well as the $G$-action on $X$ are defined over real numbers. Then $G(\mathbb{R})$ acts on $X(\mathbb{R})$…

The (local) invariant symplectic action functional $\A$ is associated to a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $\G$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, endowed with a $\G$-invariant Riemannian metric $<\cdot,\cdot>_M$. It…

We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold $X$ can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity $\TC(X)$, in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of…

In this article, we investigate the representability of actions of the category $\mathsf{Nil}_2(\mathsf{Grp})$ of $2$-nilpotent groups. We first provide an algebraic characterisation of derived actions in $\mathsf{Nil}_2(\mathsf{Grp})$ by…
