K. Ding studied a class of Schubert varieties X_\lambda in type A partial flag manifolds, corresponding to integer partitions \lambda and in bijection with dominant permutations. He observed that the Schubert cell structure of X_\lambda is…
Hessenberg varieties are subvarieties of the flag variety parametrized by a linear operator $X$ and a nondecreasing function $h$. The family of Hessenberg varieties for regular $X$ is particularly important: they are used in quantum…
The main purpose of this article is to extend some of the ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. Given a generic component of the…
We show that if $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ is its Lie algebra, then there is a map from the Hopf-cyclic cohomology of the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ to the twisted cyclic cohomology of quantum group…
Let $G/P$ be a generalized flag variety, where $G$ is a complex semisimple connected Lie group and $P\subset G$ a parabolic subgroup. Let also $X\subset G/P$ be a Schubert variety. We consider the canonical embedding of $X$ into a…
Let g be a semi-simple Lie algebra. In this paper we study the spaces of based quasi-maps from the projective line P^1 to the flag variety of g (it is well-known that their singularities are supposed to model the singularities of the so…
In this paper we compute homotopical bordism rings $MU^G_*$ for abelian compact Lie groups G, giving explicit generators and relations. The key constructions are operations on equivariant bordism which should play an important role in…
In this article we provide a version of the Leray-Serre spectral sequence for equidimensional (i.e. smooth with all orbits of the same dimension) actions of compact connected Lie groups on compact manifolds. The main part of this article…
We present type-independent computations of the KO-groups of full flag varieties, i.e. of quotient spaces G/T of compact Lie groups by their maximal tori. Our main tool is the identification of the Witt ring, a quotient of the KO-ring, of…
We study the cohomology of the free loop space of $SU(n+1)/T^n$, the simplest example of a complete flag manifolds and an important homogeneous space. Through this enhanced analysis we reveal rich new combinatorial structures arising in the…
Let $H$ be a dense subgroup of a Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We show that the (diffeological) de Rham cohomology of $G/H$ equals the Lie algebra cohomology of $\mathfrak g/\mathfrak h$, where $\mathfrak h$ is the ideal…
We consider twisted equivariant K--theory for actions of a compact Lie group $G$ on a space $X$ where all the isotropy subgroups are connected and of maximal rank. We show that the associated rational spectral sequence \`a la Segal has a…
Let $G$ be a connected compact Lie group, and let $M$ be a connected Hamiltonian $G$-manifold with equivariant moment map $\phi$. We prove that if there is a simply connected orbit $G\cdot x$, then $\pi_1(M)\cong\pi_1(M/G)$; if additionally…
We prove that the prime torsion in the local integral intersection cohomology of Schubert varieties in the flag variety of the general linear group grows exponentially in the rank. The idea of the proof is to find a highly singular point in…
We describe the action of the Weyl group of a semi simple linear group $G$ on cohomological and K-theoretic invariants of the generalized flag variety $G/B$. We study the automorphism $s_i$, induced by the reflection in the simple root, on…
In this work we state a result that relates the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathcal{S}$, by means of a short exact sequence -- similar to the universal coefficients…

Let K be a connected compact Lie group, and G be its complexification. The homology of the based loop group \Omega K with integer coefficients is naturally a \ZZ-Hopf algebra. After possibly inverting 2 or 3, we identify H_*(\Omega K,\ZZ)…

On a compact connected Lie group $G$, we study the global solvability and the cohomology spaces of the differential complex associated with an essentially real involutive structure that is invariant under left translations. We prove that…
