I have a question about Section 8.6 of Pressley-Segal's Loop groups book. Let $G$ be a compact, connected Lie group. Proposition 8.6.6 concerns the comparison of homotopy type between its polynomial ...

$\DeclareMathOperator\Sym{Sym}$Let $G$ be a compact lie group. Chern–Weil theory tells us that there's a homomorphism: $$H^{*}(BG;\mathbb{R}) \to (\Sym^{\bullet} \mathfrak{g^*})^G$$ which in our case ...

There is a construction of a global affine flag variety over $\mathbb{A}^1$ (or another curve) $Fl_{\mathbb{A}_1}$ such that each fiber above $\epsilon \neq 0$ is isomorphic to a direct product of the ...

Geometric respectively topological methods are widely applied in representation theory. As far as I know mainly cohomological methods are used. I wonder if there are concrete applications of the ...

I hope this question is not too vague. Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $P$ a parabolic containing $B$. Denote by $\pi:G/B\to G/P$ the canonical map. Consider ...
