Algebraic Equations for a Class of P.L.Spaces.
We study algebraic loop groups and affine Grassmannians in positive characteristic. The main results are normality of Schubert-varieties, the construction of line-bundles on the affine Grassmannian, and the proof that they induce line-bundles on the moduli-stack of torsors.
We relate -equivalence on tori with Voevodsky’s theory of homotopy invariant Nisnevich sheaves with transfers and effective motivic complexes.
We classify all finitely generated integral algebras with a rational action of a reductive group such that any invariant subalgebra is finitely generated. Some results on affine embeddings of homogeneous spaces are also given.
We present a class of toric varieties V which, over any algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, are defined by codim V +1 binomial equations.
We generalize the work of Jian Song by computing the α-invariant of any (nef and big) toric line bundle in terms of the associated polytope. We use the analytic version of the computation of the log canonical threshold of monomial ideals to give the log canonical threshold of any non-negatively curved singular hermitian metric on the line bundle, and deduce the α-invariant from this.
