Une variété horosphérique est une variété algébrique normale dans laquelle un groupe algébrique réductif opère avec une orbite ouverte fibrée en tores sur une variété de drapeaux. En particulier, les variétés toriques et les variétés de drapeaux sont horosphériques. Dans cet article, on classifie les variétés horosphériques de Fano en termes de certains polytopes rationnels qui généralisent les polytopes réflexifs considérés par V. Batyrev. Puis on obtient une majoration du degré des variétés horosphériques...
In this paper we answer three open problems on varieties of topological groups by invoking Lie group theory. We also reprove in the present context that locally compact groups with arbitrarily small invariant identity neighborhoods can be approximated by Lie groups
We consider subtorus actions on complex toric varieties. A natural candidate for a categorical quotient of such an action is the so-called toric quotient, a universal object constructed in the toric category. We prove that if the toric quotient is weakly proper and if in addition the quotient variety is of expected dimension then the toric quotient is a categorical quotient in the category of algebraic varieties. For example, weak properness always holds for the toric quotient of a subtorus action...
We show that in the category of complex algebraic varieties, the Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence can be endowed with a weight filtration. This implies that it degenerates if all spaces involved have pure cohomology. As application, we compute the rational cohomology of an algebraic -variety ( being a connected algebraic group) in terms of its equivariant cohomology provided that is pure. This is the case, for example, if is smooth and has only finitely many orbits. We work in the category...
