Mv - Cycles and Mv - Polytopes in Type A

We study, in type A, the algebraic cycles (MV-cycles) discovered by I. Mirkovi´c and K. Vilonen [MV]. In particular, we partition the loop Grassmannian into smooth pieces such that the MV-cycles are their closures. We explicitly describe the points in each piece using the lattice model of the loop Grassmannian in type A. The partition is invariant under the action of the coweights and, up to th...

Mv-polytopes via Affine Buildings

For an algebraic group G, Anderson originally defined the notion of MV-polytopes in [And03], images of MV-cycles, defined in [MV07], under the moment map of the corresponding affine Grassmannian. It was shown by Kamnitzer in [Kam07] and [Kam05] that these polytopes can be described via tropical relations and give rise to a crystal structure on the set of MV-cycles. Another crystal structure can...
