We consider the conjugation-action of an arbitrary upper-block parabolic subgroup of GL_n(C) on the variety of x-nilpotent complex matrices. We obtain a criterion as to whether the action admits a finite number of orbits and specify a…
We consider four (real or complex) dimensional hyper-K\"ahler metrics with a conformal symmetry K. The three-dimensional space of orbits of K is shown to have an Einstein-Weyl structure which admits a shear-free geodesics congruence for…
We consider groups G which have a cocompact, 3-manifold model for the classifying space \underline{E}G. We provide an algorithm for computing the rationalized equivariant K-homology of \underline{E}G. Under the additional hypothesis that…
Freed (arXiv:hep-th/9712042) formulated special K\"ahler structures; in particular, the regular locus of the $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ Hitchin base $\mathcal{B}$ carries such a structure, while the associated metric $\omega_{\mathrm{SK}}$…
Let $k$ be a field with a nontrivial discrete valuation which is complete and has perfect residue field. Let $G$ be the group of $k$-rational points of a reductive, linear algebraic group $\textbf{G}$ equipped with an involution $\theta$…
In this paper, we study nilpotent structures of an oriented vector bundle $E$ of rank $4n$ with a neutral metric $h$ and an $h$-connection $\nabla$. We define $H$-nilpotent structures of $(E, h, \nabla )$ for a Lie subgroup $H$ of $SO(2n,…
There is a rich theory of so-called (strict) nearly Kaehler manifolds, almost-Hermitian manifolds generalising the famous almost complex structure on the 6-sphere induced by octonionic multiplication. Nearly Kaehler 6-manifolds play a…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $\mathcal O$ a nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak g$. Let ${\mathbf{CS}}(\mathcal O)$ denote the affine cone over the secant variety of $\overline{\mathbb P\mathcal O}\subset \mathbb P\mathfrak g$. Using…
Given a non compact semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe all homogeneous spaces $G/L$ carrying an invariant almost K\"ahler structure $(\omega,J)$. When $L$ is abelian and $G$ is of classical type, we classify all such spaces which are…
Coulomb branches of a set of $3d\ \mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories are closures of nilpotent orbits of the algebra $\mathfrak{so}(n)$. From the point of view of string theory, these quantum field theories can be understood as…
We study symmetry properties of quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds obtained by the HK/QK correspondence. To any Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of the initial hyper-K\"ahler data we associate a central extension of…
The requirement that a (non-Einstein) K\"ahler metric in any given complex dimension $m>2$ be almost-everywhere conformally Einstein turns out to be much more restrictive, even locally, than in the case of complex surfaces. The local…
In this article studies questions about the existence of left-invariant K\"{a}hler and semi-para-K\"{a}hler structures on six-dimensional unsolvable Lie groups whose Lie algebras are semidirect products. According to the classification…
We consider aspects of the geometry and topology of nilpotent orbits in finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebras. In particular, we give the equivariant cohomologies of the regular and minimal nilpotent orbits with respect to the…
We use the HyperK\"{a}hler quotient of flat space to obtain some monopole moduli space metrics in explicit form. Using this new description, we discuss their topology, completeness and isometries. We construct the moduli space metrics in…
We analyse in a systematic way the (non-)compact n-dimensional Einstein Weyl spaces equipped with a cohomogeneity-one metric. With no compactness hypothesis, we prove that, as soon as the (n-1)-dimensional space is an homogeneous reductive…
Let $\,\Xi\,$ be the crown domain associated with a non-compact irreducible hermitian symmetric space $\,G/K$. We give an explicit description of the unique $\,G$-invariant adapted hyper-K\"ahler structure on $\,\Xi$,$\ $i.$\,$e.$\…
In \cite{B3}, Bridgeland defined a geometric structure, named a Joyce structure, conjectured to exist on the space $M$ of stability conditions of a $CY_3$ triangulated category. Given a non-degeneracy assumption, a feature of this structure…
In this paper, we begin a quantization program for nilpotent orbits of a real semisimple Lie group. These orbits and their covers generalize the symplectic vector space. A complex structure polarizing the orbit and invariant under a maximal…
