In this article we consider a generalization of manifolds and orbifolds which we call quasifolds; quasifolds of dimension k are locally isomorphic to the quotient of R^k by the action of a discrete group - tipically they are not Hausdorff…

We call a reductive complex group $G$ quasi-toral if $G^0$ is a torus. Let $G$ be quasi-toral and let $V$ be a faithful $1$-modular $G$-module. Let $N$ (the shell) be the zero fiber of the canonical moment mapping $\mu\colon V\oplus…

We call complex quasifold of dimension k a space that is locally isomorphic to the quotient of an open subset of the space C^k by the holomorphic action of a discrete group; the analogue of a complex torus in this setting is called a…

A description of transitive actions of a semisimple algebraic group G on toric varieties is obtained. Every toric variety admitting such an action lies between a product of punctured affine spaces and a product of projective spaces. The…

This short note considers varieties of the form $G\times S_{\text{reg}}$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple group and $S_{\text{reg}}$ is a regular Slodowy slice in the Lie algebra of $G$. Such varieties arise naturally in hyperk\"ahler…

Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of Tate K-theory. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. In this paper we show how this theory…

This is a survey about certain "almost homomorphisms" and "almost linear" functionals (called quasi-morphisms and quasi-states) in symplectic topology and their applications to Hamiltonian dynamics, functional-theoretic properties of…

Let G be an n-dimensional torus and $\tau$ a Hamiltonian action of G on a compact symplectic manifold, M. If M is pre-quantizable one can associate with $\tau$ a representation of G on a virtual vector space, Q(M), by…

We show that a group admits a non-zero homogeneous quasimorphism if and only if it admits a certain type of action on a poset. Our proof is based on a construction of quasimorphisms which generalizes Poincar\'e--Ghys' construction of the…

By a quasi-representation of a group $G$ we mean an approximately multiplicative map of $G$ to the unitary group of a unital $C^*$-algebra. A quasi-representation induces a partially defined map at the level $K$-theory. In the early 90s…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple algebraic group and $X$ be a complex symmetric homogeneous $G$-variety. Assume that both $G$, $X$ as well as the $G$-action on $X$ are defined over real numbers. Then $G(\mathbb{R})$ acts on $X(\mathbb{R})$…

Let $X$ be a connected scheme, smooth and separated over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\geq 0$, let $f:Y\rightarrow X$ be a smooth proper morphism and $x$ a geometric point on $X$. We prove that the tensor invariants…

We begin a systematic study of positivity and moment problems in an equivariant setting. Given a reductive group $G$ over $\R$ acting on an affine $\R$-variety $V$, we consider the induced dual action on the coordinate ring $\R[V]$ and on…

We define a quasi--projective reduction of a complex algebraic variety $X$ to be a regular map from $X$ to a quasi--projective variety that is universal with respect to regular maps from $X$ to quasi--projective varieties. A toric…

We study the hypersymplectic spaces obtained as quotients of flat hypersymplectic space R^{4d} by the action of a compact Abelian group. These 4n-dimensional quotients carry a multi-Hamilitonian action of an n-torus. The image of the…

The K-rings of non-singular complex pro jective varieties as well as quasi- toric manifolds were described in terms of generators and relations in an earlier work of the author with V. Uma. In this paper we obtain a similar description for…

Let $G$ be a complex simple Lie group, and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. It is well known that a finite-dimensional $G$-module $V$ carrying a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form gives rise to a Hamiltonian Poisson space with a quadratic…

We develop a theory of "quasi"-Hamiltonian G-spaces for which the moment map takes values in the group G itself rather than in the dual of the Lie algebra. The theory includes counterparts of Hamiltonian reductions, the Guillemin-Sternberg…

We describe the $K$-ring of a quasi-toric manifold in terms of generators and relations. We apply our results to describe the $K$-ring of Bott-Samelson varieties.

In this paper, we compute the homotopy type of the group of equivariant symplectomorphisms of $S^2 \times S^2$ and $\mathbb{C}P^2 \# \overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ under the presence of Hamiltonian group actions of the circle $S^1$. We prove…
