On the reductive Borel-Serre compactification, II: Excentric quotients and least common modifications
نویسنده
چکیده
Let X be a locally symmetric variety, i.e., the quotient of a bounded symmetric domain by a (say) neat arithmetically-defined group of isometries. Let X exc and X denote its excentric Borel-Serre and toroidal compactifications respectively. We determine their least common modification and use it to prove a conjecture of Goresky and Tai concerning canonical extensions of homogeneous vector bundles. In the process, we see that X exc and X are homotopy equivalent.

On the Reductive Borel-serre Compactification, Iii: Mixed Hodge Structures
We establish a procedure for constructing compatible mixed Hodge structures for the cohomology of various topological compactifications of locally symmetric varieties, notably ones that are not algebraic varieties. This is carried out in full for the case of the reductive Borel-Serre compactification, and conditionally for the excentric compactifications. Introduction. In [BS], Borel and Serre ...
متن کاملSiegel modular varieties and Borel-Serre compactification of modular curves
To motivate the study of Siegel modular varieties and Borel-Serre compactifications let me recall Scholze’s theorem on torsion classes. We start from an Hecke eigenclass h ∈ H (Xg/Γ,Fp) where Xg is the locally symmetric domain for GLg, and we want to attach to it a continuous semisimple Galois representation ρh : GQ → GLg(Fp) such that the characteristic polynomials of the Frobenius classes at ...
متن کاملOn the reductive Borel-Serre compactification: L p-cohomology of arithmetic groups (for large p)
Here, the left-hand side is the L-cohomology of M with respect to a (locally) invariant metric. Though it would be more natural to allow p = ∞ in Theorem 1, this is not generally possible (see (3.2.2)). On the other hand, there is a natural mapping H (∞)(M) → H • (p)(M) when p < ∞, because M has finite volume. The definition of M is recalled in (1.9). Theorem 1 can be viewed as an analogue of t...
متن کاملQuotients by Reductive Group, Borel Subgroup, Unipotent Group and Maximal Torus
Consider an algebraic action of a connected complex reductive algebraic group on a complex polarized projective variety. In this paper, we first introduce the nilpotent quotient, the quotient of the polarized projective variety by a maximal unipotent subgroup. Then, we introduce and investigate three induced actions: one by the reductive group, one by a Borel subgroup, and one by a maximal toru...
متن کاملSymplectic implosion and non-reductive quotients
There is a close relationship between Mumford’s geometric invariant theory (GIT) in (complex) algebraic geometry and the process of reduction in symplectic geometry. GIT was developed to construct quotients of algebraic varieties by reductive group actions and thus to construct and study moduli spaces [28, 29]. When a moduli space (or a compactification of a moduli space) over C can be construc...
