Hyperplane section 𝕆 0 2 of the complex Cayley plane as the homogeneous space F 4 / P 4

Karel Pazourek, Vít Tuček, Peter Franek (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that the exceptional complex Lie group F 4 has a transitive action on the hyperplane section of the complex Cayley plane 𝕆 2 . Although the result itself is not new, our proof is elementary and constructive. We use an explicit realization of the vector and spin actions of Spin ( 9 , ) F 4 . Moreover, we identify the stabilizer of the F 4 -action as a parabolic subgroup P 4 (with Levi factor B 3 T 1 ) of the complex Lie group F 4 . In the real case we obtain an analogous realization of F 4 ( - 20 ) / .

Introduction to actions of algebraic groups

Michel Brion (2010)

Les cours du CIRM

These notes present some fundamental results and examples in the theory of algebraic group actions, with special attention to the topics of geometric invariant theory and of spherical varieties. Their goal is to provide a self-contained introduction to more advanced lectures.

Invariants, torsion indices and oriented cohomology of complete flags

Baptiste Calmès, Viktor Petrov, Kirill Zainoulline (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let  G be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let  T be a split maximal torus of  G . Let  𝗁 be an oriented cohomology (algebraic cobordism, connective K -theory, Chow groups, Grothendieck’s K 0 , etc.) with formal group law F . We construct a ring from F and the characters of  T , that we call a formal group ring, and we define a characteristic ring morphism c from this formal group ring to  𝗁 ( G / B ) where G / B is the variety of Borel subgroups of  G . Our main result says that when the torsion index...

J -invariant of linear algebraic groups

Viktor Petrov, Nikita Semenov, Kirill Zainoulline (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let G be a semisimple linear algebraic group of inner type over a field F , and let X be a projective homogeneous G -variety such that G splits over the function field of X . We introduce the J -invariant of G which characterizes the motivic behavior of X , and generalizes the J -invariant defined by A. Vishik in the context of quadratic forms. We use this J -invariant to provide motivic decompositions of all generically split projective homogeneous G -varieties, e.g. Severi-Brauer varieties, Pfister quadrics,...

Lectures on spherical and wonderful varieties

Guido Pezzini (2010)

Les cours du CIRM

These notes contain an introduction to the theory of spherical and wonderful varieties. We describe the Luna-Vust theory of embeddings of spherical homogeneous spaces, and explain how wonderful varieties fit in the theory.
