The Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone of a semisimple Lie algebra has played an important role in representation theory. The nilpotent cone is equal to Spec R, where R is the ring of regular functions on the nilpotent cone. This…

We consider parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over a smooth projective curve and torsors under them. If the characteristic of the ground field is either zero or positive but not too small and the generic fiber is absolutely simple and…

We construct an analog of the intrinsic normal cone of Behrend-Fantechi in the equivariant motivic stable homotopy category over a base-scheme B and construct a fundament class in E-cohomology for any cohomology theory E in SH(B). For…

I. Panin proved in the nineties that the algebraic K-theory of twisted projective homogeneous varieties can be expressed in terms of central simple algebras. Later, Merkurjev and Panin described the algebraic K-theory of toric varieties as…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group, $T$ a maximal torus in $G$, $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$ containing $T$, $W$ the Weyl group of $G$ with respect to $T$. Let $w$ be an element of $W$. Denote by $X_w$ the Schubert subvariety of…

In this paper we construct a tilting sheaf for Severi-Brauer Varieties and Involution Varieties. This sheaf relates the derived category of each variety to the derived category of modules over a ring whose semisimple component consists of…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple group defined over and algebraically closed field, $T$ a fixed Cartan, $B$ a fixed Borel containing $T$, $S$ a set of simple reflections associated to the simple positive roots corresponding to $(T,B)$,…

Given a toric affine algebraic variety $X$ and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups $U_1,\ldots,U_s$ of $\mathop{\rm Aut}(X)$ which are normalized by the torus acting on $X$, we show that the group $G$ generated by…

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…

The main target of this thesis is to solve the Perron's conjecture. This conjecture affirms that some function on the mod p Torelli group, with values in Z/p, is an invariant of mod p homology 3-spheres. In order to solve this conjecture,…

In this paper, we establish an innovative framework in logarithmic Hodge theory for toroidal varieties, introducing weighted toroidal structures and developing a systematic obstruction theory for Hodge classes. Building upon recent advances…

Given any compact Riemann surface $C$, there is a canonical meromorphic 2--form $\widehat\eta$ on $C\times C$, with pole of order two on the diagonal $\Delta\, \subset\, C\times C$, constructed in \cite{cfg}. This meromorphic 2--form…

Trigonometric invariants are defined for each Weyl group orbit on the root lattice. They are real and periodic on the coroot lattice. Their polynomial algebra is spanned by a basis which is calculated by means of an algorithm. The…

This paper studies the geometry and combinatorics of three interrelated varieties: Springer fibers, Steinberg varieties, and parabolic Hessenberg varieties. We prove that each parabolic Hessenberg variety is the pullback of a Steinberg…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

This paper is a contribution to Vinberg's theory of $\theta$-groups, or in other words, to Invariant Theory of periodically graded semisimple Lie algebras. One of our main tools is Springer's theory of regular elements of finite reflection…

In this paper, we prove the existence theorem for longest paths in sub-Lorentzian problems, which generalizes the classical theorem for globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. We specifically address the case of invariant structures on…

We establish a structure theorem for the connected automorphism groups of smooth complete toroidal horospherical varieties, that is, toric fibrations over rational homogeneous spaces. The key ingredient is a characterization of the Demazure…

A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…

The first author has recently shown that semisimple algebraic groups are classified up to motivic equivalence by the local versions of the classical Tits indexes over field extensions, known as Tits p-indexes. We provide in this article the…
