Abstract

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a complex simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$, $F_4$, or $E_8$. We prove that the closure $\overline{\mathcal O}_{\min}(\mathfrak g)$ of its minimal nilpotent orbit is not isomorphic to $(T^*X)^{\mathrm{aff}}$ for any smooth quasi-affine variety $X$. We do not assume that the isomorphism is equivariant or Poisson. We also prove the same statement in types $A_1$ and $A_2$.

Rational homotopy theory of flag manifolds

Let $G/P$ be a flag manifold with $G$ simple. We determine the rational homotopy groups $\pi _{\ast }(G/P)\otimes \mathbb{Q}$ and describe the rational cohomology ring $H^{\ast }(G/P;\mathbb{Q})$ solely in terms of the rational homotopy types of $G$ and $P$, respectively. The proof is based on the restrictions of basic...

A Cotangent Model for the Next-to-Minimal Orbit of E7

Let $\mathcal O_{2A_1}$ be the next-to-minimal nilpotent orbit of the complex simple Lie algebra of type $E_7$. Let $\mathfrak p_7$ be the maximal parabolic subalgebra corresponding to the simple root $\alpha_7$, and let $\mathfrak u^+$ be its nilpotent radical. We prove that the affinization $T^*(\mathcal O_{2A_1}\cap...

Nonvanishing of cohomology for groups

Let $G$ be a finite group. We prove that the order of the abelianization $G/G'$ divides the order of $H^{2m}(G,\mathbb{Z})$ for every $m\geq1$. As a consequence, for a field $K$, nonvanishing of $Ext^1_{KG}(K,K)$ implies nonvanishing of $Ext^n_{KG}(K,K)$ for every $n\geq1$. This answers a conjecture by Erdmann, Kl\'asz...

An integral Hyodo--Kato isomorphism

Let $\mathscr{O}_K$ be a mixed characteristic complete DVR with perfect residue field $k$, and let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a proper formal scheme over $\mathscr{O}_K$ with semistable reduction. Answering a question of Fontaine and Jannsen, a classical theorem of Hyodo and Kato gives a rational identification between the log...

Moduli Spaces of Twisted Endomorphisms and Euler Characteristics

For a (quasi)projective variety $X$ and an automorphism $f$ of $X$, we define moduli spaces of twisted endomorphisms of sheaves on $X$. If the automorphism $f$ has finite order, we construct a sheaf of noncommutative algebras $\mathcal{A}_0(f)$ and show that sheaves with a twisted endomorphism can be described as $\mat...

Automorphisms of toric varieties and Gale duality

We classify complete toric threefolds $X$ such that the automorphism group $\text{Aut}(X)$ acts on $X$ with an open orbit whose complement does not contain a divisor. The latter condition means that for any ray $\rho$ of the fan $\Sigma_X$ there is a Demazure root of $\Sigma_X$ associated with $\rho$. We also find amon...
