Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) produces quotients of algebraic varieties by reductive groups. If the variety is projective, this quotient depends on a choice of polarisation; by work of Dolgachev-Hu and Thaddeus, it is known that two…

Consider vector space over non-commutative division algebra. Set of automorphisms of this vector space is group $GL$. Group $GL$ acts on the set of bases of vector space (basis manifold) single transitive and generates active…

Let G(d,n) denote the Grassmannian of d-planes in C^n and let T be the torus (C^*)^n/diag(C^*) which acts on G(d,n). Let x be a point of G(d,n) and let \bar{Tx} be the closure of the T-orbit through x. Then the class of the structure sheaf…

In this paper, we continue our study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank $\geq 2.$ First, we extend our earlier methods to analyze representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative…

We unify aspects of the equivariant geometry of type $D$ quiver representation varieties, double Grassmannians, and symmetric varieties $GL(a+b)/GL(a)\times GL(b)$; in particular we translate results about singularities of orbit closures,…

We show that (equivariant) K-theoretic 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of genus zero on a Grassmann variety are equal to triple intersections computed in the ordinary (equivariant) K-theory of a two-step flag manifold, thus generalizing an…

Let M be a manifold with an action of a Lie group G, $\A$ the function algebra on M. The first problem we consider is to construct a $U_h(\g)$ invariant quantization, $\A_h$, of $\A$, where $U_h(\g)$ is a quantum group corresponding to G.…

On a compact connected Lie group $G$, we study the global solvability and the cohomology spaces of the differential complex associated with an essentially real involutive structure that is invariant under left translations. We prove that…

This is the second paper in a series on enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories, and is a sequal to (arXiv:2302.00038). Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for…

We develop a general formalism of duality rotations for $\cal N$-extended superconformal gauge multiplets in conformally flat backgrounds as an extension of the approach given in arXiv:2107.02001. Additionally, we construct $\mathsf{U}(1)$…

Let G=GL_n be the general linear group over an algebraically closed field k and let g=gl_n be its Lie algebra. Let U be the subgroup of G which consists of the upper unitriangular matrices. Let k[g] be the algebra of polynomial functions on…

We consider $f(R)$ gravity and Born-Infeld-Einstein (BIE) gravity in formulations where the metric and connection are treated independently and integrate out the metric to find the corresponding models solely in terms of the connection, the…

A polyhedron is a graph $G$ which is simple, planar and 3-connected. In this note, we classify the family of strongly involutive self-dual polyhedra. The latter is done by using a well-known result due to Tutte characterizing 3-connected…

We study duality-twisted dimensional reductions on a group manifold G, where the twist is in a group \tilde{G} and examine the conditions for consistency. We find that if the duality twist is introduced through a group element \tilde{g} in…

We derive cancellation-free Chevalley-type multiplication formulas in the T-equivariant quantum K-theory of Grassmannians of type A and C, and also those of two-step flag manifolds of type A. They are obtained based on the uniform Chevalley…

We generalize Chevalley's theorem about restriction of \mathfrak{g}-invariant polynomial functions \mathfrak{g}->C to W-invariant functions on the Cartan \mathfrak{h}->C. We consider the case when \mathfrak{g} is replaced by a quantum group…

We generalise to the equivariant case a result of J. Denef and F. Loeser about trigonometric sums on tori; on the other hand, we study the Thom-Boardman stratification associated to the multiplication of global sections of line bundles on a…

Let $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ be commuting involutions of a semisimple algebraic group $G$. This yields a $Z_2\times Z_2$-grading of $\g=\Lie(G)$, $\g=\bigoplus_{i,j=0,1}\g_{ij}$, and we study invariant-theoretic aspects of this…

We describe new arithmetic invariants for pairs of torus orbits on groups isogenous to an inner form of $\mathbf{PGL}_n$ over a number field. These invariants are constructed by studying the double quotient of a linear algebraic group by a…

Let G be a complex simple algebraic group. We consider invariant-theoretic properties of the simple G-module whose highest weight is the short dominant root.
