For a quiver with potential $(Q,W)$ with an action of a finite cyclic group $G$, we study the skew group algebra $\Lambda G$ of the Jacobian algebra $\Lambda = \mathcal P(Q, W)$. By a result of Reiten and Riedtmann, the quiver $Q_G$ of a…

We explain extremal weight crystals over affine Lie algebras of infinite rank using combinatorial models: a spinor model due to Kwon, and an infinite rank analogue of Kashiwara-Nakashima tableaux due to Lecouvey. In particular, we show that…

We construct a crystal basis for the negative half of the quantum group U associated to the standard super Cartan datum of gl(m|1), which is compatible with known crystals on Kac modules and simple modules. We show that these crystals admit…

These are notes for a lecture series given at the Fields Institute Summer School in Geometric Representation Theory and Extended Affine Lie Algebras, held at the University of Ottawa in June 2009. We give an introduction to the geometric…

If A is a finite dimensional nilpotent associative algebra over a finite field k, the set G=1+A of all formal expressions of the form 1+a, where a is an element of A, has a natural group structure, given by (1+a)(1+b)=1+(a+b+ab). A finite…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of any characteristic except 2, and let $G = \GL_n(k)$ be the general linear group, regarded as an algebraic group over $k$. Using an algebro-geometric argument and Dynkin-Kostant theory for $G$ we…

We consider reduced imaginary Verma modules for the untwisted quantum affine algebras $U_q(\hat{\g})$ and define a crystal-like base which we call imaginary crystal base using the Kashiwara algebra $\mathcal K_q$ constructed in earlier work…

An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…

We realize the crystal associated to the quantized enveloping algebras with a symmetric generalized Cartan matrix as a set of Lagrangian subvarieties of the cotangent bundle of the quiver variety. As a by-product, we give a counterexample…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive linear algebraic group. We consider the normal $G$-varieties with horospherical orbits. In this short note, we provide a criterion to determine whether these varieties have at most canonical, log canonical…

Let G be an algebraic group and let X be a generically free G-variety. We show that X can be transformed, by a sequence of blowups with smooth G-equivariant centers, into a G-variety X' with the following property: the stabilizer of every…

We show that an effective action of the one-dimensional torus $\mathbb{G}_m$ on a normal affine algebraic variety $X$ can be extended to an effective action of a semi-direct product $\mathbb{G}_m\rightthreetimes\mathbb{G}_a$ with the same…

Crystal skeletons were introduced by Maas-Gari\'epy in 2023 by contracting quasi-crystal components in a crystal graph. On the representation theoretic level, crystal skeletons model the expansion of Schur functions into Gessel's…

We consider a generalization of the quiver varieties of Lusztig and Nakajima to the case of all symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras. To deal with the non-simply laced case one considers admissible automorphisms of a quiver and the…

The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More…

Mirkovi\'c-Vilonen polytopes encode in a geometrical way the numerical data present in the Kashiwara crystal $B(\infty)$ of a semisimple group $G$. We retrieve these polytopes from the coproduct of the Hopf algebra $\mathscr O(N)$ of…

Let G be a finite subgroup of GL_n(C). A study is made of the ways in which resolutions of the quotient space C^n / G can parametrise G-constellations, that is, G-regular finite length sheaves. These generalise G-clusters, which are used in…

Symmetry groups are projectively represented in quantum mechanics, and crystalline symmetries are fundamental in condensed matter physics. Here, we systematically present a unified theory of quantum mechanical space groups from two…

We study linear actions of algebraic groups on smooth projective varieties X. A guiding goal for us is to understand the cohomology of "quotients" under such actions, by generalizing (from reductive to non-reductive group actions) existing…

The X=M conjecture of Hatayama et al. asserts the equality between the one-dimensional configuration sum X expressed as the generating function of crystal paths with energy statistics and the fermionic formula M for all affine Kac--Moody…
