Geometric interpretation of flags and the role of the rook monoid and Kazhdan–Lusztig theory in $M_n(\mathbb{C})$
Let $G = GL_n(\mathbb{C})$, $B$ be its Borel subgroup, and $P$ a parabolic subgroup. The space $G/B$ corresponds to complete flags in $ \mathbb{C}^n$, and $G/P$ corresponds to partial flags. The ...

What should I call a log scheme with free reduced monoids?
This is a terminology question about a class of log varieties.
Given an fs (fine and saturated) log variety $(X, M)$ (for $M$ the defining sheaf of monoids), any geometric point $x\in X$ has a ...

What is the precise connection between logarithmic algebraic geometry and the field with one element?
Monoid schemes (a.k.a. $\frak M$-schemes) have been introduced by Deitmar as a possible approach to geometry over the field with one element. These build upon monoids as the basic building blocks for ...

What is the combinatorial data classifying non-normal affine toric varieties?
Recall that a toric variety is a variety $V$ containing an open dense algebraic torus. Here an algebraic torus means a finite product of copies of the multiplicative group of the ground field (which I ...

A characterisation of faces of rational polyhedral cones
This is about a (seemingly) basic lemma about rational polyhedral cones that is sometimes used when working with toric varieties and is usually "left to the reader". Unfortunately, I could ...

Schemes for conditional distributions (monads)
(Note: This is a heuristic question. I'm trying to work out if this idea makes sense. I don't have much background in this area, so apologies if I'm wide of the mark.)
Suppose you have a monad ...

amalgamated sum of monoids
Consider the amalgamated sum $Q_1 \rightarrow^{v_1} Q_1 \oplus_P Q_2 \leftarrow^{v_2} Q_2$ of $Q_1 \leftarrow^{u_1} P \rightarrow^{u_2} Q_2$ with $Q_1,Q_2,P$ being monoids.
