Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

We state results from noncommutative deformation theory of modules over an associative $k$-algebra $A,$ $k$ a field, necessary for this work. We define a set of $A$-modules $\operatorname{aSpec}A$ containing the simple modules, whose…

For any flat projective family $(\mX,\mL)\rightarrow C$ such that the generic fibre $\mX_\eta$ is a klt Q-Fano variety and $\mL|_{\mX_\eta}\sim_{Q}-K_{X_{\eta}}$, we use the techniques from the minimal model program (MMP) to modify the…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and $\xi$ an $n$-th primitive root of unity. Consider the affine scheme $C:=\mbox{Spc}({\mathbb Z}[\xi]\otimes_{\mathbb Z} R(G))$ where $R(G)$ is the representation ring of $G$. We study the fibers of…

Consider the generalized flag manifold $G/B$ and the corresponding affine flag manifold $\mathcal{Fl}_G$. In this paper we use curve neighborhoods for Schubert varieties in $\mathcal{Fl}_G$ to construct certain affine Gromov-Witten…

We give a new construction of the Bott-Samelson variety $Z$ as the closure of a $B$-orbit in a product of flag varieties $(G/B)^l$. This also gives an embedding of the projective coordinate ring of the variety into the function ring of a…

The main goal of this article is to construct some geometric invariants for the topology of the set $\mathcal{F}$ of flat connections on a principal $G$-bundle $P\,\longrightarrow\, M$. Although the characteristic classes of principal…

We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to projective space. Let $A/F$ be a simple abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism…

A finite simple graph $\Gamma$ determines a quotient $P_\Gamma$ of the pure braid group, called a graphic arrangement group. We analyze homomorphisms of these groups defined by deletion of sets of vertices, using methods developed in prior…

We prove that Schubert and Richardson varieties in flag manifolds are uniquely determined by their equivariant cohomology classes, as well as a stronger result that replaces Schubert varieties with closures of Bialynicki-Birula cells under…

Suppose that G is a finite, unitary reflection group acting on a complex vector space V and X is the fixed point subspace of an element of G. Define N to be the setwise stabilizer of X in G, Z to be the pointwise stabilizer, and C=N/Z. Then…

We study vector bundles on flag varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$. In the first part, we suppose $G=G_k(d,n)$ $(2\le d\leq n-d)$ to be the Grassmannian manifold parameterizing linear subspaces of dimension $d$ in $k^n$, where…

For a finite dimensional vector space V of dimension n, we consider the incidence correspondence (or partial flag variety) X in P(V) x P(V*), parametrizing pairs consisting of a point and a hyperplane containing it. We completely…

We give a complete classification of anisotropic projective homogeneous varieties of dimension less than 6 up to motivic isomorphism. We give several criteria for anisotropic flag varieties of type A_n to have isomorphic motives.
