Given a Hilbertian field $k$ and a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of Krull valuations of $k$, we show that every finite split embedding problem $G \rightarrow {\rm{Gal}}(L/k)$ over $k$ with abelian kernel has a solu\-tion ${\rm{Gal}}(F/k)…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of adjoint type over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ containing a maximal torus $T$ of $G.$ In this article, we show that $\alpha$ is a co-minuscule root if and…

We introduce the notion of Q-filtrable varieties: projective varieties with a torus action and a finite number of fixed points, such that the cells of the associated Bialynicki-Birula decomposition are all rationally smooth. Our main…

We study the equivariant orbifold birational classification problem for families of toroidal compactifications of a group $G$ over a toroidal base, in the cases where $G$ is an algebraic torus or a semiabelian scheme. The classification is…

Let $W$ be a finite group and $T$ be an abelian group. Consider an extension $0 \ra T \ra N \ra W \ra 0$. For a smooth projective curve $X$, we give a precise description of the fiber of the quotient by $T$ map $q_T: \cM_X(N) \ra \cM_X(W)$…

We introduce some deformations of the biset category and prove a semisimplicity property. We also consider another group category, called the subgroup category, whose morphisms are subgroups of direct products, the composition being star…

The main result of this note is that the toric degenerations of flag varieties associated to string polytopes and certain Bott-Samelson resolutions of flag varieties fit into a commutative diagram which gives a resolution of singularities…

In this paper we study the T-equivariant generalized cohomology of flag varieties using two models, the Borel model and the moment graph model. We study the differences between the Schubert classes and the Bott-Samelson classes. After setup…

In this paper we answer two long-standing questions in the classification of $G$-torsors on curves for an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group $G$ over the field of complex numbers. The first question is to give an intrinsic…

We make explicit a construction of Serre giving a definition of an algebraic Sato-Tate group associated to an abelian variety over a number field, which is conjecturally linked to the distribution of normalized L-factors as in the usual…

There exists a multiplicative homomorphism from the braid group B to the Temperley-Lieb algebra TL. Moreover, the homomorphic images in TL of the simple elements form a basis for the vector space underlying TL. In analogy with the case of…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

We introduce a new model for elliptic fibrations endowed with a Mordell-Weil group of rank one. We call it a Q$_7(\mathscr{L},\mathscr{S})$ model. It naturally generalizes several previous models of elliptic fibrations popular in the…

Let $C$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix. We introduce four different versions of double Bott-Samelson cells for every pair of positive braids in the generalized braid group associated to $C$. We prove that the decorated double…

Cellular resolutions is a well studied topic on the level of single resolutions and certain specific families of cellular resolutions. One question coming out of the work on families is to understand the structure of cellular resolutions…

In this paper, we study the homogeneous components of the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson (CSM) classes of Schubert cells. We prove that, under suitable conditions, each such component is represented by an irreducible subvariety. In particular,…

We describe the image, under the local Langlands correspondence for tori, of the characters of a torus which are trivial on its Iwahori subgroup. Let $k$ be a non-archimedian local field. Let $\boldsymbol{G}$ be a connected reductive group…

Consider a simple algebraic group $G$ of classical type and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Let $(e,h,f) \subset \mathfrak{g}$ be an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple and $Q_e= C_G(e,h,f)$. The torus $T_e$ that comes from the…

We show that every connected graph $G$ has a tree decomposition indexed by a tree $T$ such that $T$ is a subgraph of $G$ and the width of the tree decomposition is bounded from above by a function of the pathwidth of $G$. This answers a…

Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…
