Extending torsors on the punctured Spec(A inf)

We prove that torsors under parahoric group schemes on the punctured spectrum of Fontaine’s ring A inf {A_{\mathrm{inf}}} , extend to the whole spectrum. Using descent we can extend a similar result for the ring 𝔖 {\mathfrak{S}} of Kisin and Pappas to full generality. Moreover, we treat similarly the case of equal characteristic. As applications we extend results of Ivanov on exactness of the loop functor and present the construction of a canonical specialization map from the B dR + {B^{+}_{\mathrm{dR}}} -affine Grassmannian to the Witt vector affine flag variety.

Shadows in the Wild - Folded Galleries and Their Applications

This survey is about combinatorial objects related to reflection groups and their applications in representation theory and arithmetic geometry. Coxeter groups and folded galleries in Coxeter complexes are introduced in detail and illustrated by examples. Further it is explained how they relate to retractions in Bruhat-Tits buildings and to the geometry of affine flag varieties and affine Grassmannians. The goal is to make these topics accessible to a wide audience.

Fundamental local equivalences in quantum geometric Langlands

In quantum geometric Langlands, the Satake equivalence plays a less prominent role than in the classical theory. Gaitsgory and Lurie proposed a conjectural substitute, later termed the fundamental local equivalence. With a few exceptions, we prove this conjecture and its extension to the affine flag variety by using what amount to Soergel module techniques.

Tate motives on Witt vector affine flag varieties

Relying on recent advances in the theory of motives we develop a general formalism for derived categories of motives with $${\mathbf{Q}}$$ Q -coefficients on perfect $$\infty $$ ∞ -prestacks. We construct Grothendieck’s six functors for motives over perfect (ind-)schemes perfectly of finite presentation. Following ideas of Soergel–Wendt, this is used to study basic properties of stratified Tate motives on Witt vector partial affine flag varieties. As an application we give a motivic refinement of Zhu’s geometric Satake equivalence for Witt vector affine Grassmannians in this set-up.

Cordial elements and dimensions of affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties

The affine Deligne–Lusztig variety $X_w(b)$ in the affine flag variety of a reductive group ${\mathbf G}$ depends on two parameters: the $\sigma $ -conjugacy class $[b]$ and the element w in the Iwahori–Weyl group $\tilde {W}$ of ${\mathbf G}$ . In this paper, for any given $\sigma $ -conjugacy class $[b]$ , we determine the nonemptiness pattern and the dimension formula of $X_w(b)$ for most $w \in \tilde {W}$ .

Degenerate Affine Flag Varieties and Quiver Grassmannians

We study finite dimensional approximations to degenerate versions of affine flag varieties using quiver Grassmannians for cyclic quivers. We prove that they admit cellular decompositions parametrized by affine Dellac configurations, and that their irreducible components are normal Cohen-Macaulay varieties with rational singularities.

Affine flag varieties

This chapter reviews affine flag varieties. It generalizes some of the previous results to the case where G over Zp is a parahoric group scheme. In fact, slightly more generally, it allows the case that the special fiber is not connected, with connected component of the identity G? being a parahoric group scheme. This case comes up naturally in the classical definition of Rapoport-Zink spaces. The chapter first discusses the Witt vector affine flag variety over Fp. This is an increasing union of perfections of quasiprojective varieties along closed immersions. In the case that G° is parahoric, one gets ind-properness.
