In this paper we describe the space of maximal components of the character variety of surface group representations into PSp(4,R) and Sp(4,R). For every rank 2 real Lie group of Hermitian type, we construct a mapping class group invariant…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi(G)=\{p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k\}$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ for which $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_k$. The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of $G$, denoted ${\rm GK}(G)$, is defined as follows: its vertex set is…

We define the associated variety $ X_{M} $ of a module $ M $ over a finite-dimensional superalgebra $ {\mathfrak g} $, and show how to extract information about $ M $ from these geometric data. $ X_{M} $ is a subvariety of the cone $ X $ of…

In recent years, many results have been established regarding classifications of varieties whose colength sequences are bounded by a fixed constant. In this work, we explore this theme in the setting of algebras endowed with a graded…

To any Hamiltonian action of a reductive algebraic group $G$ on a smooth irreducible symplectic variety $X$ we associate certain combinatorial invariants: Cartan space, Weyl group, weight and root lattices. For cotangent bundles our…

If G is a finitely generated group, and A an algebraic group, then Hom(G,A) is a possibly reducible algebraic variety denoted by R_A(G). Here we define the profile function, P_d(R_A(G)), of the representation variety of G over A to be…

Let X be a smooth complex variety and Y be a closed subvariety of X, or more generally, a closed subscheme of X. We are interested in invariants attached to the singularities of the pair (X, Y). We discuss various methods to construct such…
