Stratified Spaces Formed by Totally Positive Varieties

چکیده
By a theorem of A. Björner [4], for every interval [u, v] in the Bruhat order of a Coxeter group W , there exists a stratified space whose strata are labeled by the elements of [u, v], adjacency is described by the Bruhat order, and each closed stratum (resp., the boundary of each stratum) has the homology of a ball (resp., of a sphere). Answering a question posed in [4], we suggest a natural geometric realization of these stratified spaces for a Weyl group W of a semisimple Lie group G, and prove its validity in the case of the symmetric group. Our stratified spaces arise as links in the Bruhat decomposition of the totally nonnegative part of the unipotent radical of G.

Hilbert-Siegel moduli spaces in positive characteristic
Hilbert-Siegel varieties are moduli spaces for abelian varieties equipped with an action by an order OK in a fixed, totally real field K. As such, they include both the Siegel moduli spaces (use K = Q and the action is the standard one) and Hilbert-Blumenthal varieties (where the dimension of K is the same as that of the abelian varieties in question). In this paper we study certain phenomena a...
متن کاملTotally nonnegative cells and matrix Poisson varieties
We describe explicitly the admissible families of minors for the totally nonnegative cells of real matrices, that is, the families of minors that produce nonempty cells in the cell decompositions of spaces of totally nonnegative matrices introduced by A. Postnikov. In order to do this, we relate the totally nonnegative cells to torus orbits of symplectic leaves of the Poisson varieties of compl...
متن کاملA Non-archimedean Analogue of the Calabi-yau Theorem for Totally Degenerate Abelian Varieties
We show an example of a non-archimedean version of the existence part of the Calabi-Yau theorem in complex geometry. Precisely, we study totally degenerate abelian varieties and certain probability measures on their associated analytic spaces in the sense of Berkovich.
متن کاملStratifications of mapping cylinders
We characterize those maps between homotopically stratified spaces whose mapping cylinders are also homotopically stratified spaces. Two applications are offered. The first concerns locally flat submanifolds of topological manifolds, and the second concerns algebraic maps between algebraic varieties. 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملThe symplectic spaces that correspond to nonrational, nonsimple convex polytopes
We construct, for each convex polytope, possibly nonrational and nonsimple, a family of compact spaces that are stratified by quasifolds, i.e. each of these spaces is a collection of quasifolds glued together in an suitable way. A quasifold is a space locally modelled on R k modulo the action of a discrete, possibly infinite, group. The way strata are glued to each other also involves the actio...
