Reference for combinatorics with view towards representation theory/algebraic geometry
I'm making this post to ask for a reference about combinatorics: I'm a PhD student in representation theory/algebraic geometry. My background is mostly in algebra and geometry (and also mostly ...

Is the affine closure of the basic affine space of a reductive algebraic group Cohen–Macaulay?
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group with choices of Borel subgroup and maximal torus $B \supseteq T$ and unipotent radical $U$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. Is the ...

Areas of algebraic geometry useful for geometric representation theory
What topics/areas of algebraic geometry (aside from perverse sheaves/D-modules, etale cohomology, and possibly derived algebraic geometry) is it useful to learn/master if one is interested in doing ...

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 ...

what is the injective hull of indecomposable module of preprojective algebra
Let $Q$ be a ADE type quiver and $s_i$ ($i$ runs through the vertices of $Q$) be the simple $\Lambda$-module with 1-dimensional vector space at vertex $i$ and zero-dim at other vertices. Here $\Lambda$...

References for crystal bases and Demazure modules in representation theory
I was wondering what are some standard general references/books/survey articles about: (1) crystal bases, and string parameterizations and (2) Demazure modules, and Schubert varieties (containing ...

A question about equivariant derived categories and [BBD]
Let $G$ be an algebraic group (over $\mathbb{C}$) acting algebraically on a variety $X$. Bernstein and Lunts then define in [BL94] the equivariant derived category $D^b_G(X,\mathbb{C})$ (of $\mathbb{C}...

Is there a good account of D-affinity and localization theorem for partial flag varieties?
Recall that a topological space is called $A$-affine for a sheaf of algebras $A$ if taking global sections of coherent sheaves of $A$-modules is an equivalence of categories to finitely generated $\...
