A Criterion for n-Fold Transitivity of Transformation Groups.
In this paper we construct and study an action of the affine braid group associated with a semi-simple algebraic group on derived categories of coherent sheaves on various varieties related to the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. In particular, we describe explicitly the action of the Artin braid group. This action is a “categorical version” of Kazhdan-Lusztig-Ginzburg’s construction of the affine Hecke algebra, and is used in particular by the first author and I. Mirković in the course...
Soit un groupe de type fini non élémentaire. On note l’ensemble des structures hyperboliques de dimension sur . peut se réaliser comme fermé dans un espace semi-algébrique qui admet une compactification naturelle par le spectre réel. On note le compactifié via le réel de . L’objet de cet article est de décrire les points ajoutés dans . La compactification obtenue de cette manière permet d’interpréter “les points frontières” comme des représentations de dans où est un corps réel...
Degenerations, contractions and deformations of various algebraic structures play an important role in mathematics and physics. There are many different definitions and special cases of these notions. We try to give a general definition which unifies these notions and shows the connections among them. Here we focus on contractions of Lie algebras and algebraic groups.
We study the genus and SNT sets of connective covering spaces of familiar finite CW-complexes, both of rationally elliptic type (e.g. quaternionic projective spaces) and of rationally hyperbolic type (e.g. one-point union of a pair of spheres). In connection with the latter situation, we are led to an independently interesting question in group theory: if f is a homomorphism from Gl(ν,A) to Gl(n,A), ν < n, A = ℤ, resp. , does the image of f have infinite, resp. uncountably infinite, index in...
We give a Hodge-theoretic parametrization of certain real Lie group orbits in the compact dual of a Mumford-Tate domain, and characterize the orbits which contain a naive limit Hodge filtration. A series of examples are worked out for the groups , , and .
