Projective normality of the wonderful compactification of semisimple adjoint groups

We prove that if G is a semisimple adjoint group over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, X is the wonderful compactification of G and is a simply connected covering of G, then for any -linearised very ample line bundle L over X, the cone over X given by L is normal.

Automatic continuity of pseudocharacters on semisimple Lie groups

It is proved that an arbitrary pseudocharacter on a semisimple Lie group is continuous.     

Character sheaves on the semi-stable locus of a group compactification

We study the intermediate extension of the character sheaves on an adjoint group to the semi-stable locus of its wonderful compactification. We show that the intermediate extension can be described by a direct image construction. As a consequence, we show that the “ordinary” restriction of a character sheaf on the compactification to a “semi-stable stratum” is a shift of semisimple perverse sheaf and is closely related to Lusztig's restriction functor (from a character sheaf on a reductive group to a direct sum of character sheaves on a Levi subgroup). We also provide a (conjectural) formula for the boundary values inside the semi-stable locus of an irreducible character of a finite group of Lie type, which gives a partial answer to a question of Springer (2006) [21]. This formula holds for Steinberg character and characters coming from generic character sheaves. In the end, we verify Lusztig's conjecture Lusztig (2004) [16, 12.6] inside the semi-stable locus of the wonderful compactification.

Projective push-forwards in the Witt theory of algebraic varieties

We define push-forwards along projective morphisms in the Witt theory of smooth quasi-projective varieties over a field. We prove that they have standard properties such as functoriality, compatibility with pull-backs and projection formulas.     

Torus quotients of homogeneous spaces of the general linear group and the standard representation of certain symmetric groups

We give a stratification of the GIT quotient of the Grassmannian G _2,n modulo the normaliser of a maximal torus of SL _n (k) with respect to the ample generator of the Picard group of G _2,n . We also prove that the flag variety GL _n (k)/B _n can be obtained as a GIT quotient of GL _n+1(k)/B _n+1 modulo a maximal torus of SL _n+1(k) for a suitable choice of an ample line bundle on GL _n+1(k)/B _n+1.

Remarks on the Structure of Complex Symmetric Operators

A conjugation C is antilinear isometric involution on a complex Hilbert space , and is called complex symmetric if T* = CTC for some conjugation C. We use multiplicity theory to describe all conjugations commuting with a fixed positive operator. We expand upon a result of Garcia and Putinar to provide a factorization of complex symmetric operators which is based on the polar decomposition. This paper is based in part on the first author’s Master’s Project.     

Remarks on Hard Lefschetz conjectures on Chow groups Dedicated in celebration of SCIENCE CHINA on the occasion of its 60th birthday

We propose two conjectures of Hard Lefschetz type on Chow groups and prove them for some special cases. For abelian varieties, we show that they are equivalent to the well-known conjectures of Beauville and Murre.     

A characterization of the Cauchy-type distributions on boundaries of semisimple groups

关于R3上Cusp度量存在性的注记

On differentiable compactifications of the hyperbolic plane and algebraic actions of $${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$$ on surfaces

Real-analytic actions of SL(2;R) on surfaces have been classified, up to analytic change of coordinates. In particular it is known that there exists countably many analytic equivariant compactification of the isometric action on the hyperbolic plane. In this paper we study the algebraicity of these actions. We get a classification of the algebraic actions of SL(2;R) on surfaces. In particular, we classify the algebraic equivariant compactifications of the hyperbolic plane. The online version of the original article can be found under doi: .     

Global behavior of the heat kernel associated with certain sub-Laplacians on semisimple Lie groups

We prove global sharp estimates for the heat kernel related to certain sub-Laplacians on a real semisimple Lie group, from which we deduce an estimate for the corresponding Green function.     

Remarks on the length of conjugacy classes of finite groups

Let G be a finite group. The question of how certain arithmetical conditions on the lengths of the conjugacy classes of G influence the group structure has been studied by several authors. In this paper we study restrictions on the structure of a finite group in which the lengths of conjugacy classes are not divisible by p ² for some prime p. We generalise and provide simplified proofs for some earlier results.     

The multiplication map for global sections of line bundles and rank 1 torsion free sheaves on curves

LetX be an integral projective curve andL ∃ Pic^a(X),M ∃ Pic^b (X) with h¹(X, L)= h¹(X, M) = 0 andL, M general. Here we study the rank of the multiplication map μ _L,M :H ⁰(X,L)⊗H ⁰(X,M)→H ⁰(X,L⊗M). We also study the same problem whenL andM are rank 1 torsion free sheaves onX. Most of our results are forX with only nodes as singularities.     

Remarks on Maximal Attractors for the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations of Viscous and Heat Conductive Fluid

This paper is concerned with the existence of maximal attractors in Hi (i = 1, 2,4) for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a polytropic viscous heat conductive ideal gas in bounded annular domains Ωn in Rn(n = 2,3).     

Solvable infinite-dimensional linear groups with restrictions on the nonabelian subgroups of infinite rank

Under study are the solvable nonabelian linear groups of infinite central dimension and sectional p-rank, p ≥ 0, in which all proper nonabelian subgroups of infinite sectional p-rank have finite central dimension. We describe the structure of the groups of this class.     

Para-tt*-bundles on the tangent bundle of an almost para-complex manifold

In this paper we study para-tt ^*-bundles (TM, D, S) on the tangent bundle of an almost para-complex manifold (M, τ). We characterise those para-tt ^*-bundles with ${\nabla=D + S}In this paper we study para-tt ^*-bundles (TM, D, S) on the tangent bundle of an almost para-complex manifold (M, τ). We characterise those para-tt ^*-bundles with induced by the one-parameter family of connections given by and prove a uniqueness result for solutions with a para-complex connection D. Flat nearly para-K?hler manifolds and special para-complex manifolds are shown to be such solutions. We analyse which of these solutions admit metric or symplectic para-tt ^*-bundles. Moreover, we give a generalisation of the notion of a para-pluriharmonic map to maps from almost para-complex manifolds (M, τ) into pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and associate to the above metric and symplectic para-tt ^*-bundles generalised para-pluriharmonic maps into , respectively, into SO ₀(n,n)/U ^π(C ⁿ ), where U ^π(C ⁿ ) is the para-complex analogue of the unitary group.
