Algebraic varieties which are locally isomorphic to open subsets of affine space will be called {\em plain}. Plain varieties are smooth and rational. The converse is true for curves and surfaces, and unknown in general. It is shown that…
We describe the effective and the big cones of a projective symmetric variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient combinatorial criterion for the bigness of a nef divisor on a projective symmetric variety. When the variety is…
For a semisimple real Lie group $G$ with an irreducible representation $\rho$ on a finite-dimensional real vector space $V$, we give a sufficient criterion on $\rho$ for existence of a group of affine transformations of $V$ whose linear…
This paper contains two results concerning the equivariant K-theory of toric varieties. The first is a formula for the equivariant K-groups of an arbitrary affine toric variety, generalizing the known formula for smooth ones. In fact, this…
We classify affine varieties with an action of a connected, reductive algebraic group such that the group is isomorphic to an open orbit in the variety. This is accomplished by associating a set of one-parameter subgroups of the group to…
Our main result is the following: let X be a normal affine toric surface without torus factor. Then there exists a non-normal affine toric surface X' with automorphism group isomorphic to the automorphism group of X if and only if X is…
Let Y be a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3 polarized by a very ample divisor that is not proportional to the anticanonical one. Then the affine cone over Y is flexible in codimension one. Equivalently, such a cone has an open subset…
We give a definition of the notion of spherical varieties in the world of complex supervarieties with actions of algebraic supergroups. A characterization of affine spherical supervarieties is given which generalizes a characterization in…
We give a local criterion in terms of a residue current for strong holomorphicity of a meromorphic function on an arbitrary pure-dimensional analytic variety. This generalizes a result by A Tsikh for the case of a reduced complete…
The geometric condition defining a spherical variety for a reductive algebraic group was generalized in [AG21], with applications to representation theory. We twist by a character to generalize this definition, and show its equivalence to a…
We study the equivariant real structures on complex horospherical varieties, generalizing classical results known for toric varieties and flag varieties. In particular, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of…
Affine Lusztig varieties encode the orbital integrals of Iwahori--Hecke functions and serve as building blocks for the (conjectural) theory of affine character sheaves. We establish a close relationship between affine Lusztig varieties and…
We prove a ratio ergodic theorem for amenable equivalence relations satisfying a strong form of the Besicovich covering property. We then use this result to study general non-singular actions of non-abelian free groups and establish a ratio…
It is well known that all torsors under an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field are trivial. We note that under suitable conditions this also holds if the the group is not necessarily of finite type. This has an…
We prove that the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ of an affine spherical variety $X$ acts transitively on the set of smooth points $X^{reg}.$ If every invertible regular function on $X$ is constant, we prove that $X$ is flexible, i.e.,…
An algebraic variety is said to have the $A_k$-property if any $k$ points are contained in some common affine open neighbourhood. A theorem of W{\l}odarczyk states that a normal variety has the $A_2$-property if and only if it admits a…
We show a flexibility result in the context of generalized entropy. The space of dynamical systems we work with is, homeomorphisms on the sphere whose non-wandering set consist in only one fixed point.
A toric hyperk\"{a}hler variety is determined by combinatorial data A and $\alpha$. Here A is an integer valued matrix and $\alpha$ is a character of an algebraic torus $T^d$. $Y(A, \alpha)$ is a crepant partial resolution of an affine…
In this paper we investigate aspects of rigidity and flexibility for conformal iterated function systems. For the case in which the systems are not essentially affine we show that two such systems are conformal equivalent if and only if in…
We obtain a series of results in the global theory of free boundary minimal surfaces, which in particular provide a rather complete picture for the way different complexity criteria, such as area, topology and Morse index compare, beyond…
