We propose a novel evolutionary algorithm for optimizing real-valued objective functions defined on the Grassmann manifold Gr}(k,n), the space of all k-dimensional linear subspaces of R^n. While existing optimization techniques on Gr}(k,n)…

In the present paper we introduce and study the notion of an equivariant pretheory: basic examples include equivariant Chow groups, equivariant K-theory and equivariant algebraic cobordism. To extend this set of examples we define an…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group. A folklore result asserts the existence of an $\mathbb{E}_2$-algebra structure on the Ran Grassmannian of $G$ over $\mathbb{A}^1_{\mathbb{C}}$, seen as a topological space with the complex-analytic…

This paper is a continuation of our study of degenerations of Grassmannians in our last paper, called linked Grassmannians, constructed using convex lattice configurations in Bruhat-Tits buildings. We describe the geometry and topology of…

In this short note, we prove a comparision theorem between Levine-Serp\'e's equivariant higher Chow groups of an algebraic variety equipped with an action of a finite group and ordinary higher Chow groups of its fixed points. As a…

We study linearizability properties of finite subgroups of the Cremona group ${\mathrm{Cr}}_n(k)$ in the case where $k$ is a global field, with the focus on the local-global principle. For every global field $k$ of characteristic different…

We study the geometry of an important class of generic curves in the Grassmannian manifolds of $n$-dimensional subspaces and Lagrangian subspaces of $R^{2n}$ under the action of the linear and linear symplectic group.

Let $\mathbb{G}(d,n)$ be the complex Grassmannian of affine $d$-planes in $n$-space. We study the problem of characterizing the set of algebraic subvarieties of $\mathbb{G}(d,n)$ invariant under the action of the maximal torus $T$ and…

Let $\textrm{UT}_n (K)$ be a unitriangular group over a field $K$ and $\Gamma_{n,k} := \textrm{UT}_n (K)/ \gamma_k(\textrm{UT}_n (K))$, where $\gamma_k (\mathrm{UT}_n(K))$ denotes the $k$-th term of the lower central series of…

We express all equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the projective line as matrix elements of explicit operators acting in the Fock space. As a consequence, we prove the equivariant theory is governed by the 2-Toda hierarchy of Ueno and…

The Chow groups of codimension-p algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence on a smooth algebraic variety X have steadfastly resisted the efforts of algebraic geometers to fathom their structure. This book explores a "linearization"…

The intuitive notion of the Gromov invariant for maps from a Riemann surface to a Grassmannian is shown to agree with the definition in \cite{BDW}. Also, an induction on the genus is proved, which extends the results of \cite{BDW} to a…

The recently discovered general formulas for perturbative correlators in basic matrix models can be interpreted as the Schur-preservation property of Gaussian measures. Then substitution of Schur by, say, Macdonald polynomials, defines a…

Any generalization of the method of Godement-Jacquet on principal L-functions for GL(n) to other groups as perceived by Braverman-Kazhdan and Ngo requires a Fourier transform on a space of Schwartz functions. In the case of standard…

We prove some extension theorems involving uniformly continuous maps of the universal Urysohn space. We also prove reconstruction theorems for certain groups of autohomeomorphisms of this space and of its open subsets.

Richardson varieties play an important role in intersection theory and in the geometric interpretation of the Littlewood-Richardson Rule for flag varieties. We discuss three natural generalizations of Richardson varieties which we call…

We extend the classical Schubert calculus of enumerative geometry for the Grassmann variety of lines in projective space from the complex realm to the real. Specifically, given any collection of Schubert conditions on lines in projective…

In this paper, we consider inner automorphisms that leave invariant fixed subspaces of real and complex Clifford algebras -- subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the reversion and the grade involution. We present groups of…

The theory of general Galois-type extensions is presented, including the interrelations between coalgebra extensions and algebra (co)extensions, properties of corresponding (co)translation maps, and rudiments of entwinings and…

We consider the graph whose vertex set is a conjugacy class ${\mathcal C}$ consisting of finite-rank self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$. The dimension of $H$ is assumed to be not less than $3$. In the case when operators…
