Factorization of point configurations, cyclic covers, and conformal blocks

Michele Bolognesi, Noah Giansiracusa (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We describe a relation between the invariants of n ordered points in projective d -space and of points contained in a union of two linear subspaces. This yields an attaching map for GIT quotients parameterizing point configurations in these spaces, and we show that it respects the Segre product of the natural GIT polarizations. Associated to a configuration supported on a rational normal curve is a cyclic cover, and we show that if the branch points are weighted by the GIT linearization and the rational...

Filling boundaries of coarse manifolds in semisimple and solvable arithmetic groups

Filling Bestvina, Alex Eskin, Kevin Wortman (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We provide partial results towards a conjectural generalization of a theorem of Lubotzky-Mozes-Raghunathan for arithmetic groups (over number fields or function fields) that implies, in low dimensions, both polynomial isoperimetric inequalities and finiteness properties. As a tool in our proof, we establish polynomial isoperimetric inequalities and finiteness properties for certain solvable groups that appear as subgroups of parabolic groups in semisimple groups, thus generalizing a theorem of Bux....

Fixed points for reductive group actions on acyclic varieties

Martin Fankhauser (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let X be a smooth, affine complex variety, which, considered as a complex manifold, has the singular -cohomology of a point. Suppose that G is a complex algebraic group acting algebraically on X . Our main results are the following: if G is semi-simple, then the generic fiber of the quotient map π : X X / / G contains a dense orbit. If G is connected and reductive, then the action has fixed points if dim X / / G 3 .
