Transverse slices to orbits in the nilpotent cone and affine Grassmanian in type A

Background My question is about the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/0712.4160; specifically about the isomorphism in Theorem $1.2$ (in the Introduction), $T_{\lambda} \cap \overline{\m …

Is it possible to describe the ideals of the Iwahori decomposition in a loop group using generalized minors?

Let $G$ be your favorite complex reductive algebraic group, and consider its (algebraic) loop group $G((t))$. A role very similar to the Borel $B\subset G$ is played in the loop g …

What is the Picard group of a Schubert variety in the affine Grassmannian?

I'm not sure I have a lot more to say than the title. Let $G$ be your favorite simple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $$\overline {\mathrm{Gr}}_\lambda= \overline{G(\ma …

Reference for the Thick Affine Grassmanian

Let $G$ be a reductive group and $LG$ be the algebraic loop group of $G$; i.e. $LG(k) = G( k((t)) )$. There is a fair amount of literature on the affine Grassmanian $LG(k)/G(k[[t] …
