What's the intuition for weighted limits?

In enriched category theory, weighted limits may be strictly more general than conical limits, in the sense that an enriched category with all conical limits may fail to have all weighted limits. ...

Decomposition of tensor power of symmetric square

By Pieri's formula, a partition with $2n$ elements in $n$ rows, corresponding to a representation of $GL_n$, occurs in this representation with multiplicity equal to the number of ways of obtaining ...

Effective weight-monodromy conjecture

You can bound the filtration length (assuming the WM conj) using the weight spectral sequence of Rapoport--Zink. This is a sp seq converging to $H^*(X_{\overline{k}})$; and if the WM conj holds, then ...

Comparison of weight filtration on cohomology of complex manifold

Yes, the $\ell$-adic weight filtration is compatible with the weight filtration in mixed Hodge theory under the comparison isomorphism. These facts go back to Deligne, and are described in his ...

Decomposition of tensor power of symmetric square

The answer is yes. Let $e_1,\ldots, e_n$ be the standard basis of $V$. Consider the morphism $$ f \colon \det(V) \to V^{\otimes n} $$ given by $$ f(e_1 \wedge \cdots \wedge e_n) = \sum_{\sigma \in ...

Every locally compact group gives rise to a locally compact quantum group

In the general, not necessarily $\sigma$-compact setting, one has to interpret $L^\infty(G,\lambda)$ as the von Neumann algebra of locally measurable functions that are bounded outside a locally null ...

Integral weight filtration on cohomology with no compact support

The results of the paper you mention (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.6805.pdf) are for analytic spaces, but the same proofs (actually simplified) give a weight filtration on the cohomology with ...

About weights in $\mathfrak{h}^*$

Any element of $\mathfrak{h}^*$ is called weight. I don't know why in this case the author used definite article. As a non-native speaker I would use indefinite one, i.e. "a weight is called regular ...

Functoriality of weighted limits

Decomposition of an element as a difference of positive elements in the definition subalgebra of a weight (Takesaki)

Achieving every possible ranking by rearranging weights
