We construct an invariant deformation retract of a deformation space of G-trees. We show that this complex is finite dimensional in certain cases and provide an example that is not finite dimensional. Using this complex we compute the…
In this paper, we carry out several computations involving graded (or $\mathbb{G}_{\mathrm{m}}$-equivariant) perverse-coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone of a reductive group in good characteristic. In the first part of the paper, we…
Recall that a triangular Hopf algebra A is said to have the Chevalley property if the tensor product of any two simple A-modules is semisimple, or, equivalently, if the radical of A is a Hopf ideal. There are two reasons to study this class…
Let G be a reductive connected group over an algebraic closure of a finite field. I define a tensor structure on the category of perverse sheaves on G which are direct sums of unipotent character sheaves in a fixed two-sided cell, in…
The goal of this paper is to explain how basic properties of perverse sheaves sometimes translate via Riemann-Hilbert correspondences (in both characteristic $0$ and characteristic $p$) to highly non-trivial properties of singularities,…
We provide a unified approach, via deformations of incidence algebras, to several important types of representations with finiteness conditions, as well as the combinatorial algebras which produce them. We show that over finite dimensional…
Let $\pi: \mathcal{X}\rightarrow \Delta$ be a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds over an open disk in $\mathbb{C}$. If the fiber $\pi^{-1}(t)$ for each nonzero $t$ in an uncountable subset $B$ of $\Delta$ is Moishezon and the…
We investigate the topological degeneracy that can be realized in Abelian fractional quantum spin Hall states with multiply connected gapped boundaries. Such a topological degeneracy (also dubbed as "boundary degeneracy") does not require…
We formulate the generation of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras by group-like elements and skew-primitives in geometric terms. This is done through a more general study of connected and coconnected Hopf algebras inside a braided…
The aim of this work is to discuss the concepts of degeneration, deformation and rigidity, and to apply them to the geometric study of the varieties of Hopf algebras. The main result is the description of the n-dimensional rigid Hopf…
Let $G={\rm SL}_2(\mathfrak F) $ where $\mathfrak F$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$. We suppose that the pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup $I$ of $G$ is a Poincar\'e group of dimension $d$. Let $k$ be a field containing the residue field of…
In this work, we introduce the point parameter ring B, a generalized twisted homogeneous coordinate ring associated to a degenerate version of the three-dimensional Sklyanin algebra. The surprising geometry of these algebras yields an…
We explain that a new theorem of Deligne on symmetric tensor categories implies, in a straightforward manner, that any finite dimensional triangular Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero has Chevalley…
We shall show how to decompose, by functorial and canonical fibrations, arbitrary $n$-dimensional complex projective {Although the geometric results apply to compact K\" ahler manifolds without change, we consider here for simplicity this…
In this paper, we present a theory of Poisson deformation of Hamiltonian quasi-Poisson manifolds to Hamiltonian Poisson manifolds that include degenerate cases. More significantly, this theory extends to singular cases arising from…
We review recent results for heterotic moduli and the Hull--Strominger system. In particular, we discuss mathematical properties of the recently derived deformation operator $\bar D$ associated to the deformation complex of heterotic…
The space of de Rham currents supported in finitely many points in a Lie group $G$ has the structure of a filtered differential graded Hopf algebra. The product is given by convolution of compactly supported currents, and the co-product…
We study $p$-adic manifolds associated with twisted points of quotient stacks $\mathcal{X} = [U/G]$ and their quotient spaces $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to X$. We prove several structural results about the fibres of $\pi$ and derive in particular a…
Motivated by quantum gravity and the CFT Distance Conjecture, we study infinite-distance limits in four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theories with higher-dimensional conformal manifolds and their AdS duals. We focus on…
We describe the possible noncommutative deformations of complex projective three-space by exhibiting the Calabi--Yau algebras that serve as their homogeneous coordinate rings. We prove that the space parametrizing such deformations has…
