Standard monomial theory for G2

Standard Monomial Theory

We construct an explicit basis for the coordinate ring of the Bott-Samelson variety Zi associated to G = GL(n) and an arbitrary sequence of simple reflections i. Our basis is parametrized by certain standard tableaux and generalizes the Standard Monomial basis for Schubert varieties. In this paper, we prove the results announced in [LkMg] for the case of Type An−1 (the groups GL(n) and SL(n)). ...

A Geometric Approach to Standard Monomial Theory

We obtain a geometric construction of a “standard monomial basis” for the homogeneous coordinate ring associated with any ample line bundle on any flag variety. This basis is compatible with Schubert varieties, opposite Schubert varieties, and unions of intersections of these varieties. Our approach relies on vanishing theorems and a degeneration of the diagonal; it also yields a standard monom...

M-Theory on Manifolds with G2 Holonomy

We study M-theory on G2 holonomy spaces that are constructed by dividing a seven-torus by some discrete symmetry group. We classify possible group elements that may be used in this construction and use them to find a set of possible orbifold groups that lead to co-dimension four singularities. We describe how to blow up such singularities, and then derive the moduli Kähler potential for M-theor...

M-theory on manifolds of G2 homology: . . .

In 1981, covariantly constant spinors were introduced into Kaluza-Klein theory as a way of counting the number of supersymmetries surviving compactification. These are related to the holonomy group of the compactifying manifold. The first non-trivial example was provided in 1982 by D = 11 supergravity on the squashed S 7 , whose G 2 holonomy yields N = 1 in D = 4. In 1983 another example was pr...
