We introduce new objects, called $(G,c)$-bands, associated with a simple simply-connected algebraic group $G$, and a Coxeter element $c$ in its Weyl group. We show that bands of a given type are the $K$-points of an infinite dimensional…

The symmetric homology of a unital algebra $A$ over a commutative ground ring $k$ is defined using derived functors and the symmetric bar construction of Fiedorowicz. For a group ring $A = k[\Gamma]$, the symmetric homology is related to…

We give explicit formulas for torus-equivariant fundamental classes of closed $K$-orbits on the flag variety $G/B$ when $G$ is one of the classical groups $SL(n,\C)$, $SO(n,\C)$, or $Sp(2n,\C)$, and $K$ is a symmetric subgroup of $G$. We…

For an almost split Kac-Moody group G over a local non-archimedean field, the last two authors constructed a spherical Hecke algebra H (over the complex numbers C, say) and its Satake isomorphism with the commutative algebra of Weyl…

We study equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum cohomology in GKM theory. Building on the localization formula, we prove that the resulting expression is independent of the choice of compatible connection, and provide an…

In this paper we will demonstrate that any compact quantum group can be used as symmetry groups for quantum channels, which leads us to the concept of covariant channels. We, then, unearth the structure of the convex set of covariant…

In this paper we propose a general framework to study the quantum geometry of $\sigma$-models when they are effectively localized to small quantum fluctuations around constant maps. Such effective theories have surprising exact descriptions…
