Let be a connected complex reductive group where is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Let and let . Following Raïs we say that the orbit is characteristic for if the identity component of is . If is semisimple, we say that is semi-characteristic for if the identity component of is an extension of by a torus. We classify the -orbits which are not (semi)-characteristic in many cases.
Viewing comodule algebras as the noncommutative analogues of affine varieties with affine group actions, we propose rudiments of a localization approach to nonaffine Hopf algebraic quotients of noncommutative affine varieties corresponding to comodule algebras. After reviewing basic background on noncommutative localizations, we introduce localizations compatible with coactions. Coinvariants of these localized coactions give local information about quotients. We define Zariski locally trivial quantum...
There is a well known relation between simple algebraic groups and simple singularities, cf. [5], [28]. The simple singularities appear as the generic singularity in codimension two of the unipotent variety of simple algebraic groups. Furthermore, the semi-universal deformation and the simultaneous resolution of the singularity can be constructed in terms of the algebraic group. The aim of these notes is to extend this kind of relation to loop groups and simple elliptic singularities. It is the...
Let Λ be a directed finite-dimensional algebra over a field k, and let B be an upper triangular bimodule over Λ. Then we show that the category of B-matrices mat B admits a projective generator P whose endomorphism algebra End P is quasi-hereditary. If A denotes the opposite algebra of End P, then the functor Hom(P,-) induces an equivalence between mat B and the category ℱ(Δ) of Δ-filtered A-modules. Moreover, any quasi-hereditary algebra whose category of Δ-filtered modules is equivalent to mat...
Let A be a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. We characterize the finite-dimensional A-modules whose orbit closures are local hypersurfaces. The result is reduced to an analogous characterization for orbit closures of quiver representations obtained in Section 3.
With this work and its sequel, Moduli of unipotent representations II, we initiate a study of the finite dimensional algebraic representations of a unipotent group over a field of characteristic zero from the modular point of view. Let be such a group. The stack of all representations of dimension is badly behaved. In this first installment, we introduce a nondegeneracy condition which cuts out a substack which is better behaved, and, in particular, admits a coarse algebraic space, which...
We extend the methods of geometric invariant theory to actions of non–reductive groups in the case of homomorphisms between decomposable sheaves whose automorphism groups are non–reductive. Given a linearization of the natural action of the group on Hom(E,F), a homomorphism is called stable if its orbit with respect to the unipotent radical is contained in the stable locus with respect to the natural reductive subgroup of the automorphism group. We encounter effective numerical conditions for...
