Equations of some wonderful compactifications

Pascal Hivert (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

De Concini and Procesi have defined the wonderful compactification X ¯ of a symmetric space X = G / G σ where G is a complex semisimple adjoint group and G σ the subgroup of fixed points of G by an involution σ . It is a closed subvariety of a Grassmannian of the Lie algebra 𝔤 of G . In this paper we prove that, when the rank of X is equal to the rank of G , the variety is defined by linear equations. The set of equations expresses the fact that the invariant alternate trilinear form w on 𝔤 vanishes...

The higher transvectants are redundant

Abdelmalek Abdesselam, Jaydeep Chipalkatti (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let A , B denote generic binary forms, and let 𝔲 r = ( A , B ) r denote their r -th transvectant in the sense of classical invariant theory. In this paper we classify all the quadratic syzygies between the { 𝔲 r } . As a consequence, we show that each of the higher transvectants { 𝔲 r : r ≥ 2 } is redundant in the sense that it can be completely recovered from 𝔲 0 and 𝔲 1 . This result can be geometrically interpreted in terms of the incomplete Segre imbedding. The calculations rely upon the Cauchy exact sequence of S L 2 -representations,...

Effective equidistribution of S-integral points on symmetric varieties

Yves Benoist, Hee Oh (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let K be a global field of characteristic not 2. Let Z = H ∖ G be a symmetric variety defined over K and S a finite set of places of K . We obtain counting and equidistribution results for the S-integral points of Z . Our results are effective when K is a number field.

Adjoint representation of E 8 and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1

Vera V. Serganova, Alexei N. Skorobogatov (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree 1 , and let G be the simple Lie group of type E 8 . We construct a locally closed embedding of a universal torsor over X into the G -orbit of the highest weight vector of the adjoint representation. This embedding is equivariant with respect to the action of the Néron-Severi torus T of X identified with a maximal torus of G extended by the group of scalars. Moreover, the T -invariant hyperplane sections of the torsor defined by the roots of G are the...

Decomposition of reductive regular Prehomogeneous Vector Spaces

Hubert Rubenthaler (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let ( G , V ) be a regular prehomogeneous vector space (abbreviated to P V ), where G is a reductive algebraic group over ℂ . If V = ⊕ i = 1 n V i is a decomposition of V into irreducible representations, then, in general, the PV’s ( G , V i ) are no longer regular. In this paper we introduce the notion of quasi-irreducible P V (abbreviated to Q -irreducible), and show first that for completely Q -reducible P V ’s, the Q -isotypic components are intrinsically defined, as in ordinary representation theory. We also show that, in an...
