We study the twisted elliptic genera of 2d $(0,4)$ SCFTs associated with the BPS strings in the twisted circle compactification of 6d rank-one $(1,0)$ SCFTs. Such objects can arise when the 6d gauge algebra allows outer automorphism, thus…
We show coordinate rings of open Richardson varieties are upper cluster algebras for any symmetrizable Kac--Moody type. We further show the coordinate rings of (generalized) open Richardson varieties on the twisted product of flag varieties…
We study the homogeneous coordinate rings of partial flag varieties and Grassmannians in their Pl\"ucker embeddings and exhibit an embedding of the former into the latter. Both rings are cluster algebras and the embedding respects the…
We show that the coordinate ring of an open positroid variety coincides with the cluster algebra associated to a Postnikov diagram. This confirms conjectures of Postnikov, Muller--Speyer, and Leclerc, and generalizes results of Scott and…
Positroids are families of matroids introduced by Postnikov in the study of non-negative Grassmannians. In particular, positroids enumerate a CW decomposition of the totally non-negative Grassmannian. Furthermore, Postnikov has identified…
We introduce a family of spaces called critical varieties. Each critical variety is a subset of one of the positroid varieties in the Grassmannian. The combinatorics of positroid varieties is captured by the dimer model on a planar…
Matroid varieties are the closures in the Grassmannian of sets of points defined by specifying which Pl\"ucker coordinates vanish and which don't. In general these varieties are very ill-behaved, but in many cases one can estimate their…
We describe all Poisson brackets compatible with the natural cluster algebra structure in the open Schubert cell of the Grassmannian $G_k(n)$ and show that any such bracket endows $G_k(n)$ with a structure of a Poisson homogeneous space…
We show the existence of cluster $\mathcal{A}$-structures and cluster Poisson structures on any braid variety, for any simple Lie group. The construction is achieved via weave calculus and a tropicalization of Lusztig's coordinates. Several…
First, this article develops the theory of weaves and their cluster structures for the affine cones of positroid varieties. In particular, we explain how to construct a weave from a reduced plabic graph, show it is Demazure, compare their…
Given a category, one may construct slices of it. That is, one builds a new category whose objects are the morphisms from the category with a fixed codomain and morphisms certain commutative triangles. If the category is a groupoid, so that…
Scattering symplectic manifolds are (closed) manifolds with a mildly degenerate Poisson structure. In particular they can be viewed as symplectic structures on a Lie algebroid which is almost everywhere isomorphic to the tangent bundle. In…
For any convex preorder on the set of positive roots of affine type A, we classify and construct all associated cuspidal and semicuspidal skew shapes. These combinatorial objects correspond to cuspidal and semicuspidal skew Specht modules…
We define skew Schubert polynomials to be normal form (polynomial) representatives of certain classes in the cohomology of a flag manifold. We show that this definition extends a recent construction of Schubert polynomials due to Bergeron…
This paper aims to focus on Richardson varieties on symplectic groups, especially their combinatorial characterization and defining equations. Schubert varieties and opposite Schubert varieties have profound significance in the study of…
We prove that the divisor class group of any open Richardson variety in the Grassmannian is trivial. Our proof uses Nagata's criterion, localizing the coordinate ring at a suitable set of Pl\"ucker coordinates. We prove that these Pl\"ucker…
The totally nonnegative Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)_{\geq0}$ is the subset of the real Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)$ consisting of points with all nonnegative Pl\"ucker coordinates. The circular Bruhat order is a poset isomorphic to…
Many interesting spaces --- including all positroid strata and wild character varieties --- are moduli of constructible sheaves on a surface with microsupport in a Legendrian link. We show that the existence of cluster structures on these…
We initiate the study of a class of polytopes, which we coin polypositroids, defined to be those polytopes that are simultaneously generalized permutohedra (or polymatroids) and alcoved polytopes. Whereas positroids are the matroids arising…
Using Postnikov's Le-diagrams, decorated permutations, and Grassmann necklaces, we classify which positroids are sparse paving matroids. This allows us to enumerate sparse paving positroids, making connections to a known sequence involving…
