Reconstructing Orbit Closures from Their Boundaries

October 08, 2024 09:31 AM
We introduce and study diamonds of GL+(2, R)-invariant subvarieties of Abelian and quadratic differentials, which allow us to recover information on an invariant subvariety by simultaneously considering two degenerations, and which provide a new tool for the classification of invariant subvarieties.

Reflexive Modules on Normal Gorenstein Stein Surfaces, Their Deformations and Moduli

October 08, 2024 09:21 AM
In this paper we generalize Artin-Verdier, Esnault and Wunram construction of McKay correspondence to arbitrary Gorenstein surface singularities. The key idea is the definition and a systematic use of a degeneracy module, which is an enhancement of the first Chern class construction via a degeneracy locus.

Unipotent Representations, Theta Correspondences, and Quantum Induction

October 08, 2024 09:11 AM
In this paper, we construct unipotent representations for the real orthagonal groups and the metaplectic groups in the sense of Vogan. Our construction is based on quantum induction which involves the compositions of even number of theta correspondences. In particular, our results imply that there are irreducible unitary representations attached to each special nilpotent orbit.
