Intersection cohomology of reductive varieties

Roy Joshua, Michel Brion (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We extend the methods developed in our earlier work to algorithmically compute the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of reductive varieties. These form a class of highly symmetric varieties that includes equivariant compactifications of reductive groups. Thereby, we extend a well-known algorithm for toric varieties.

Invariante Divisoren und Schnitthomologie von torischen Varietäten

Gottfried Barthel, Jean-Paul Brasselet, Karl-Heinz Fieseler, Ludger Kaup (1996)

Banach Center Publications

In this article, we complete the interpretation of groups of classes of invariant divisors on a complex toric variety X of dimension n in terms of suitable (co-) homology groups. In [BBFK], we proved the following result (see Satz 1 below): Let C l D i v C ( X ) and C l D i v W ( X ) denote the groups of classes of invariant Cartier resp. Weil divisors on X. If X is non degenerate (i.e., not equivariantly isomorphic to the product of a toric variety and a torus of positive dimension), then the natural homomorphisms C l D i v C ( X ) H 2 ( X ) and C l D i v W ( X ) H 2 n - 2 c l d ( X ) are...

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...

Jacobian discrepancies and rational singularities

Tommaso de Fernex, Roi Docampo (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Inspired by several works on jet schemes and motivic integration, we consider an extension to singular varieties of the classical definition of discrepancy for morphisms of smooth varieties. The resulting invariant, which we call 𝐽𝑎𝑐𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑦 , is closely related to the jet schemes and the Nash blow-up of the variety. This notion leads to a framework in which adjunction and inversion of adjunction hold in full generality, and several consequences are drawn from these properties. The main result of the paper...
