We provide a new proof of the following result: Let $X$ be a variety of finite type over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, let $Z\subset X$ be a proper closed subset. There exists a modification $f:X_1 \rar X$, such…

We construct shift operators on equivariant symplectic cohomology which generalise the shift operators on equivariant quantum cohomology in algebraic geometry. That is, given a Hamiltonian action of the torus $T$, we assign to a cocharacter…

Given an action of a reductive group on a normal variety, we construct all invariant open subsets admitting a good quotient with a quasiprojective or a divisorial quotient space. Our approach extends known constructions like Mumford's…

Quiver varieties have recently appeared in various different areas of Mathematics such as representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras and quantum groups, instantons on 4-manifolds, and resolutions Kleinian singularities. In this paper, we…

An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…

Let X be an affine T-variety. We study two different quotients for the action of T on X: the toric Chow quotient X/_CT and the toric Hilbert scheme H. We introduce a notion of the main component H_0 of H which parameterizes general T-orbit…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the definition of symplectic structure on a smooth stratified pseudomanifold in the framework of local $\C^{\infty}$-ringed space theory. We introduce a sheaf-theoretic definition of symplectic…

We survey recent developments in the study of torus equivariant motivic Chern and Hirzebruch characteristic classes of projective toric varieties, with applications to calculating equivariant Hirzebruch genera of torus-invariant Cartier…

Let $M$ be a proper Hamiltonian $K$-space with proper moment map $\mu$. The symplectic quotient $X=\mu^{-1}(0)/K$ is in general a singular stratified space. In this paper we first generalize the Kirwan map to this symplectic setting which…

In this paper we consider a special class of polymorphisms with invariant measure, - (cf.[1])- the algebraic polymorphisms of compact groups. A general polymorphism is -- by definition -- a many-valued map with invariant measure, and the…

We classify symplectic actions of 2-tori on compact, connected symplectic 4-manifolds, up to equivariant symplectomorphisms. This extends results of Atiyah, Guillemin-Sternberg, Delzant and Benoist. The classification is in terms of a…

Given a representation of the circle group by semiclassical Fourier integral operators, we construct an algebra of semiclassical pseudodifferential operators that are a quantum analogue of the notion of symplectic cutting of Lerman, and we…

We study Hamiltonian actions on $b$-symplectic manifolds with a focus on the effective case of half the dimension of the manifold. In particular, we prove a Delzant-type theorem that classifies these manifolds using polytopes that reside in…

The first part of this work constructs positive-genus real Gromov-Witten invariants of real-orientable symplectic manifolds of odd "complex" dimensions; the present part focuses on their properties that are essential for actually working…

Let $X_P$ be a smooth projective toric variety of dimension $n$ embedded in $\PP^r$ using all of the lattice points of the polytope $P$. We compute the dimension and degree of the secant variety $\Sec X_P$. We also give explicit formulas in…

Let mathcal{O}_lambda be a generic coadjoint orbit of a compact semi-simple Lie group K. Weight varieties are the symplectic reductions of mathcal{O}_lambda by the maximal torus T in K. We use a theorem of Tolman and Weitsman to compute the…

We initiate here the study of Gromov-Witten theory of locally conformally symplectic manifolds or $\lcs$ manifolds, $\lcsm$'s for short, which are a natural generalization of both contact and symplectic manifolds. We find that the main new…

We study the iterated blow-up X of projective space along an arbitrary collection of linear subspaces. By replacing the universal torsor with an $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy equivalent model, built from $\mathbb{A}^1$-fiber bundles not just…

We continue the development of X-ray tomography in sub-Riemannian geometry. Using the Fourier Transform adapted to the group structure, we generalize the Fourier Slice Theorem to the class of H-type groups. The Fourier Slice Theorem…

The Chow quotient of a projective variety by the action of a complex torus is known to have a very complicated geometry, even in the case of simple varieties, such as rational homogeneous varieties. In this paper we propose an approach in…
