Factorisation de certains morphismes birationnels
We describe a relation between the invariants of ordered points in projective -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...
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....
Let be a smooth, affine complex variety, which, considered as a complex manifold, has the singular -cohomology of a point. Suppose that is a complex algebraic group acting algebraically on . Our main results are the following: if is semi-simple, then the generic fiber of the quotient map contains a dense orbit. If is connected and reductive, then the action has fixed points if .
