Canonical basis in equivariant K-theory of the Springer resolution

In Definition 15.0.2 of the notes from a course by Bezrukavnikov there is a characterization of canonical basis in K-theory of a Springer fiber which is due to Lusztig. This characterization is in ...

Smoothness of some varieties related to the Slodowy slice

Let $G$ be a complex algebraic group with simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} = \operatorname{Lie} G$. Let $\mathcal{B}$ be the flag variety consisting of all the Borel subalgebras of $\mathfrak{g}$. Let ...

Extension of a type A Springer fibre

Given a decomposition $p=(p_1,\dots,p_n)$ of $n$, one can associate its corresponding partial flag variety $$\mathcal{B}_p=\{F=(0=F_0\subset F_1\subset \dots \subset F_n=\mathbb{C}^n) \mid \dim F_i/F_{...

Multiplicities of components of a Springer fibre

Given a Springer fibre of type A, are multiplicities of its irreducible components known in general, or at least in the special cases of two-row/hook types? By multiplicities I mean considering a ...

Are parabolic Springer fibers equal dimensional?

Let $G$ be a simple algrbraic group ( of type BCDEFG ) over the complex number $\mathbb{C}$, let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$, suppose we have a resolution of singularities $\mu: T^*(G/P)\to \...

Component group of stabilizer group of a nilpotent element

Let $G$ be a semisimple complex algebraic group, and $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra. $G$ acts on $\mathfrak{g}$ by adjoint action. Let $x$ be an nilpotent element in $\mathfrak{g}$, and $G(x)\...

Understanding the proof of the Springer correspondence

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ with Weyl group $W$. Let $$ \mathcal{S} = R\pi_*\mathbb{Q}_\ell[\dim \mathcal{N}] $$ be the Springer sheaf, where $\...

Counting points of parabolic Springer fibers

Let $G$ be a reductive group over an (algebraically closed ) field. To each parabolic subgroup $P \subseteq G$ and $x \in G$ we can consider two types of partial Springer fibers associated to it : $$1)...

Are there cases in which the Weyl group _does_ act on the flag variety/springer fiber?

In nearly every reference on the classical springer correspondence (for example Chriss/Ginzburg's book on Complex Geometry) it is stated that the action of the Weyl Group on the homology of the ...

Relations between double coinvariants and affine Springer fibers

Diagonal coinvariants have an interpretation from https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0201148 in terms of the Hilbert scheme. There are two recent papers https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.09033.pdf and https://arxiv....

Intersection of components in Springer fibre of type A

From the standard results on Springer fibers of type A, we know that given a Springer fiber, say $\mathcal{B}_\lambda,$ its irreducible components are all equidimensional and parametrized by standard ...

How should I think about the Grothendieck-Springer alteration?

Given a simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, recall the Springer resolution of its nilpotent cone $\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}\to \mathcal{N}$. Several times I have seen someone explaining Springer ...

$G$-orbits in Springer resolution (or, stabilizer actions on Springer fibers)

This may be an elementary question, but I'm having trouble coming up with an answer: Let $\tilde{N} = T^*(G/B)$ be the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. Does it have finitely many $G$-orbits?...

Is it possible to describe the action of the Weyl group on the cohomology of the fibers of the Grothendieck-Springer resolution?

I am confused about the following: can one describe the action of the Weyl group on the cohomology of each fiber of the Grothendieck-Springer resolution? I only need the case of ${\mathfrak sl}_n$. ...
