Surprising properties of centralisers in classical Lie algebras

Oksana Yakimova (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let 𝔤 be a classical Lie algebra, , either 𝔤𝔩 n , 𝔰𝔭 n , or 𝔰𝔬 n and let e be a nilpotent element of 𝔤 . We study various properties of the centralisers 𝔤 e . The first four sections deal with rather elementary questions, like the centre of 𝔤 e , commuting varieties associated with 𝔤 e , or centralisers of commuting pairs. The second half of the paper addresses problems related to different Poisson structures on 𝔤 e * and symmetric invariants of 𝔤 e .

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...

Linear maps preserving orbits

Gerald W. Schwarz (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let H ⊂ GL ( V ) be a connected complex reductive group where V is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Let v ∈ V and let G = { g ∈ GL ( V ) ∣ g H v = H v } . Following Raïs we say that the orbit H v is if the identity component of G is H . If H is semisimple, we say that H v is for H if the identity component of G is an extension of H by a torus. We classify the H -orbits which are not (semi)-characteristic in many cases.

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...

Quadratic Differentials and Equivariant Deformation Theory of Curves

Bernhard Köck, Aristides Kontogeorgis (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Given a finite p -group G acting on a smooth projective curve X over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p , the dimension of the tangent space of the associated equivariant deformation functor is equal to the dimension of the space of coinvariants of G acting on the space V of global holomorphic quadratic differentials on X . We apply known results about the Galois module structure of Riemann-Roch spaces to compute this dimension when G is cyclic or when the action of G on...
