In this article, we use the Bruhat and Schubert cells to calculate the cellular homology of the maximal compact subgroup $K$ of a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra is a split real form. We lift to the maximal compact…
Alternating bilinear maps with few relations allow to define a combinatorial closure similarly as in [2]. For the $\aleph_0$-categorical case we show that this closure is part of the algebraic closure.
We examine the partition of a finite Coxeter group of type $B$ into cells determined by a weight function $L$. The main objective of these notes is to reconcile Lusztig's description of constructible representations in this setting with…
A matrix is $k$-nonnegative if all its minors of size $k$ or less are nonnegative. We give a parametrized set of generators and relations for the semigroup of $k$-nonnegative $n\times n$ invertible matrices in two special cases: when $k =…
For the flag variety G/B of a reductive algebraic group G we define a certain (set-theoretical) cross-section phi from G/B to G, which depends on a choice of reduced expression for the longest element in the Weyl group. This cross-section…
Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look…
Postnikov constructed a cellular decomposition of the totally nonnegative Grassmannians. The poset of cells can be described (in particular) via Grassmann necklaces. We study certain quiver Grassmannians for the cyclic quiver admitting a…
The main goal of this paper is to show that the (multi-homogeneous) coordinate ring of a partial flag variety $\mathbb{C} [G / P_K^{-}]$ admits a cluster algebra structure if $G$ is any simply-connected semisimple complex algebraic group.…
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. We consider the strata in G defined by Lusztig as fibers of a map given in terms truncated induction of Springer representations. We extend to arbitrary…
We describe $\sigma$-matching, interchangeable and, as a consequence, totally compatible products on null-filiform associative algebras.
In this paper, we study the interaction between the totally positive monoid $G_{\ge 0}$ attached to a connected reductive group $G$ with a pinning and the conjugacy classes in $G$. In particular, we study how a conjugacy class meets the…
Let $\cal R$ be an ordered vector space over an ordered division ring. We prove that every definable set $X$ is a finite union of relatively open definable subsets which are definably simply-connected, settling a conjecture from [5]. The…
The Temperley-Lieb and Brauer algebras and their cyclotomic analogues, as well as the partition algebra, are all examples of twisted semigroup algebras. We prove a general theorem about the cellularity of twisted semigroup algebras of…
In this paper we study the Bruhat decomposition of not necessarily connected reductive quasi-split groups $G$ with respect to not necessarily connected parabolic subgroups. If $G$ is defined over a finite field, we construct a smooth…
We prove that in a semi-bounded o-minimal expansion of an ordered group every non-empty open definable set is a finite union of open cells.
Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements. For…
In this paper we use toric geometry to investigate the topology of the totally non-negative part of the Grassmannian (Gr_{kn})_{\geq 0}. This is a cell complex whose cells Delta_G can be parameterized in terms of the combinatorics of…
We study the intersection of the totally positive part of a split semisimple group over the real numbers with a totally positive parabolic subgroup.
Let G be an exceptional algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0 and let H be a subgroup of G. Then following Serre we say H is G-completely reducible or G-cr if, whenever H is contained in a…
We investigate the compatibility of the set of fully commutative elements of a Coxeter group with the various types of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells using a canonical basis for a generalized version of the Temperley-Lieb algebra.
