Fundamental domain for symmetric group $S_n$ acting on $\mathop{Gr}(k,n)$?

Is there a nice fundamental domain for the symmetric group $S_n$ acting on the Grassmannian of $k$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^n$? (The action of $S_n$ is by permuting the coordinates, of course.) I'm loo …

For a representation V of a finite group G, when is Hom(W, W⊗V) trivial for all irreps W?

One necessary condition is that the center of $G$ needs to act trivially in $V$ for $\mathrm{Hom}(W, W \otimes V)$ to ever be non-trivial. The character of the center justs multiplies in a tensor pro …

Residual Finiteness of Fundamental Group of Compact 3-Manifold

For the first question, the answer is yes. Geometrization implies that the only non-Haken manifolds irreducible manifolds are compact hyperbolic manifolds (with no cusps), and there again $\pi_1$ is …

Gluing hexagons to get a locally CAT(0) space

I believe that there are four ways to glue (all) the edges of a regular Euclidean hexagon to get a locally CAT(0) space: The first two give the torus and the Klein bottle, respectively. What are the …
