Convex bodies associated to linear series

Robert Lazarsfeld, Mircea Mustață (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In his work on log-concavity of multiplicities, Okounkov showed in passing that one could associate a convex body to a linear series on a projective variety, and then use convex geometry to study such linear systems. Although Okounkov was essentially working in the classical setting of ample line bundles, it turns out that the construction goes through for an arbitrary big divisor. Moreover, this viewpoint renders transparent many basic facts about asymptotic invariants of linear series, and opens...

Decomposition numbers for perverse sheaves

Daniel Juteau (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The purpose of this article is to set foundations for decomposition numbers of perverse sheaves, to give some methods to calculate them in simple cases, and to compute them concretely in two situations: for a simple (Kleinian) surface singularity, and for the closure of the minimal non-trivial nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra.This work has applications to modular representation theory, for Weyl groups using the nilpotent cone of the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra, and for reductive...
