Let G be a classical complex Lie group, P any parabolic subgroup of G, and X = G/P the corresponding homogeneous space, which parametrizes (isotropic) partial flags of subspaces of a fixed vector space. In the mid 1990s, Fulton, Pragacz,…

Given a singular Schubert variety Z in a compact Hermitian symmetric space it is a longstanding question to determine when Z is homologous to a smooth variety Y. We identify those Schubert varieties for which there exist first-order…

We prove a sharp, quantitative analogue of Helgason's conjecture at the level of distributions: For a semisimple Lie group $G$ of real rank one, Poisson transforms map a Sobolev space on $P\backslash G$ boundedly with closed range to an…

Let $G$ be a simple compact connected Lie group. We study homogeneous Einstein metrics for a class of compact homogeneous spaces, namely generalized flag manifolds $G/H$ with second Betti number $b_{2}(G/H)=1$. There are 8 infinite families…

Characteristic classes of Schubert varieties can be used to study the geometry and the combinatorics of homogeneous spaces. We prove a relation between elliptic classes of Schubert varieties on a generalized full flag variety and those on…

A Richardson variety in a flag variety is an intersection of two Schubert varieties defined by transverse flags. We define and study relative Richardson varieties, which are defined over a base scheme with a vector bundle and two flags. To…

We provide a proof that every Schubert variety of a semi-infinite flag variety is projectively normal. This gives us an interpretation of a Demazure module of a global Weyl module of a current Lie algebra as the (dual) space of the space of…

Let $\sigma$ be a simple involution of an algebraic semisimple group $G$ and let $H$ be the subgroup of $G$ of points fixed by $\sigma$. If the restricted root system is of type $A$, $C$ or $BC$ and $G$ is simply connected or if the…

We introduce a natural generalization of the definition of a symmetric Hopf algebroid, internal to any symmetric monoidal category with coequalizers that commute with the monoidal product. Motivation for this is the study of Heisenberg…

In this article we obtain many results on the multiplicative structure constants of $T$-equivariant Grothendieck ring of the flag variety $G/B$. We do this by lifting the classes of the structure sheaves of Schubert varieties in…

The main aim of the paper is to provide analogues of Simpson's correspondence on singular projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. There are two main cases. In the first case, we consider…

In recent years there has been a growing interest in companion matrices. There is a deep knowledge of sparse companion matrices, in particular it is known that every sparse companion matrix can be transformed into a unit lower Hessenberg…

Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichm\"uller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the…

Our main goal is to show that the Gelfand--Tsetlin toric degeneration of the type A flag variety can be obtained within a degenerate representation-theoretic framework similar to the theory of PBW degenerations. In fact, we provide such…

Let $T$ be a maximal torus of a semisimple complex algebraic group, $\mathrm{BS}(s)$ be the Bott-Samelson variety for a sequence of simple reflections $s$ and $\mathrm{BS}(s)^T$ be the set of $T$-fixed points of $\mathrm{BS}(s)$. We prove…

The universal centralizer of a semisimple algebraic group is the family of centralizers of regular elements, parametrized by their conjugacy classes. When the group is of adjoint type, we construct a smooth, log-symplectic fiberwise…

We study the problem of the irreducibility of the Hessian variety $\mathcal{H}_f$ associated with a smooth cubic hypersurface $V(f)\subset \mathbb{P}^n$. We prove that when $n\leq5$, $\mathcal{H}_f$ is normal and irreducible if and only if…

We discuss some connections between the closure $\bar F$ of a Steinberg fiber in the wonderful compactification of an adjoint group and the affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_w(1)$ in the affine flag variety. Among other things, we…

We investigate the structure of subspaces of a Hilbert space that are invariant under unitary representations of a discrete group. We work with square integrable representations, and we show that they are those for which we can construct an…
