Canonical and filling subgroups of formal groups.
In this paper, I construct noncompact analogs of the Chern classes for equivariant vector bundles over complex reductive groups. For the tangent bundle, these Chern classes yield an adjunction formula for the (topological) Euler characteristic of complete intersections in reductive groups. In the case where a complete intersection is a curve, this formula gives an explicit answer for the Euler characteristic and the genus of the curve. I also prove that the higher Chern classes vanish. The first...
Lorsqu’un tore agit sur une variété algébrique complexe munie de la topologie transcendante, nous définissons la classe d’Euler -équivariante d’un point fixe isolé , qu’il soit lisse ou non. Cette classe est une fraction rationnelle à un nombre fini de variables et lorsque est rationnellement lisse dans , c’est un polynôme qui s’identifie canoniquement à la classe d’Euler équivariante usuelle, mais, réciproquement, lorsque la classe d’Euler équivariante est polynomiale, il n’est pas toujours...
We classify the affine varieties of dimension at most 4 which occur as orbit closures with an invariant point in varieties of representations of quivers. Moreover, we show that they are normal and Cohen-Macaulay.
We give a short introduction to the problem of classification of spherical varieties, by presenting the Luna conjecture about the classification of wonderful varieties and illustrating some of the related currently known results.
In the setting of strict wonderful varieties we prove Luna’s conjecture, saying that wonderful varieties are classified by combinatorial objects, the so-called spherical systems. In particular, we prove that primitive strict wonderful varieties are mostly obtained from symmetric spaces, spherical nilpotent orbits and model spaces. To make the paper as self-contained as possible, we also gather some known results on these families and more generally on wonderful varieties.
We give examples of failure of the existence of co-fibered products in the category of algebraic curves.
